IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8665 of 2009 ANIL SINGH S/O TARKESHWR SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- KUNDESAR, P.S.- SHAHPUR, DISTRICT- BHOJPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 28/07/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP. The petitioner is the sole named accused of the case. The informant’s sister Nitu was married four years earlier with the petitioner and sufficient dowry was given but she still was being coerced for bringing additional dowry by way of a motorcycle and a chain. The informant received information that his sister has been burnt by the petitioner. The informant rushed there and found her dead. Submission is that though the petitioner is the husband but it was an accidental death. The allegation of demand of dowry is denied and it has been submitted that after death the dead body was put in the river after performing all rituals. The petitioner is in custody since 21.11.2008. The petitioner is the sole named accused of the case. There is allegation that the victim was subjected to torture in connection with demand of dowry prior to her death. The death is within the seven years of marriage in the house of the petitioner. 2 Considering the above facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
