No. 6, Advocates For the State : Mr. Ram Priya Sharan Singh, A.P.P. ------ 2 12.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 304B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no eye witnesse to the occurrence. The allegation is general and omnibus against all the accused persons. There is delay of two days in lodgment of F.I.R. and other co-accused, the mother-in-law, father-in-law and other co-accused persons have already been granted bail. It is submitted on behalf of the State that the petitioner is the husband of deceased and the allegation is of demand of dowry and torture and thereafter the dead body of the deceased was recovered from the shrub of Punpun river and her both legs and hands tied with rope and blood oozing out of her neck. In postmortem report the doctor has found the death by strangulation. The marriage was only performed on 27.4.2008 and within seven months of marriage the deceased had been killed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that girl was killed within seven months of the marriage and her body was found from bank of the Punpun river, legs and hands tied with rope and blood oozing out of the neck, I am not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner. This application is dismissed. However, the Trial Court will take every possible steps for expeditious disposal of the trial. Spd/- (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
