IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25830 of 2008 RAJDEO SAHNI & RAM BABU SAHNI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 24.10.2008 Heard Sri Ajay Kumar Singh No.1, Advocate for the petitioners, learned A.P.P. for the State and the learned counsel for the Informant. Petitioner Ram Babu Sahni is the husband of the deceased Laxmi Devi. Petitioner Rajdeo Sahni is the Bahnoi of petitioner Ram Babu Sahni. The allegation is that after being married to the deceased petitioner Ram Babu Sahni used to harass her after getting drunk so much so that the lady left her matrimonial house to take shelter in her widow mother’s house. The lady stated that the deceased had come to her house only ten days back when both the petitioners came to her house and were found whispering between them. The lady informant went to work in others field in another village and when she came back at about 4.00 P.M. she found the doors of her house locked. The lock was broken and the doors were opened and it was found that Laxmi Devi was lying dead probably being murdered by strangulation. There is ample - 2 - material in the case diary including the statement of younger brother of the deceased in paragraphs 8, 10, 21, 37, 38, 39 and 40 that the two petitioners finding the deceased all alone in the house entered inside it and were seen coming out of house locking the doors. The doctor found the lady strangulated to death manually. There is sufficient material in my opinion to negate the prayer. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
