IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20654 of 2008 DHIRENDRA KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 11/08/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. Case under sections 323, 324, 498 A of the Indian Penal Code was registered on the basis of written report of the informant in which she alleged that her husband and other inlaws were torturing her in connection with dowry related demand and for that they have burnt her. The informant became unconscious and when she regained her consciousness she found herself in the hospital. Submission is that in view of the injuries at best this case comes under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner being the husband has committed various torture on his wife. No doubt other accused persons have been admitted to bail but the case of the petitioner being husband cannot be equated with others so far his relationship is concerned. Considering the allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected presently. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the court below after examination of the informant as witness. avin. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
