IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20860 of 2010 1. HARI SHANKAR SINGH 2. Mala Devi @ Karori Devi Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------ 2/ 09.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Marriage is of the year 2008. Allegation is of demand of dowry and torture for its non-fulfillment soon before the death in matrimonial house which is defended on the ground that petitioners were residing in Kolkatta on the relevant date. Some documents are filed on their behalf but none of the documents shows definite presence of petitioners in Kolkatta on the date of occurrence otherwise petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased. Demand and torture are supported by the informant and his witnesses. If father and mother of the deceased is not examined it is the act of the I.O., which never can minimize the alleged liability for committing the offence. Really, if there were some complications in course of pregnancy that should be informed to Maike people which has not been done. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the prayer of the petitioners is rejected. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
