IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39989 of 2008 PAWAN KUMAR YADAV son of late Ashok Yadav, resident of village- Phulwaria, P.S.Phulwaria, Dist.-Begusarai. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 30.3.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused of a case which has been registered under section 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is husband of the deceased. It appears that a case was lodged under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and in that case on the intervention of this court she was sent to the house of the petitioner with a direction that she will report this court in the month of March 2007 but in the meantime she was killed according to the allegation. Submission is that the deceased has committed suicide because she was not willing to live at Sasural place with the husband. There is no allegation that soon prior to death the victim was being subjected to cruelty in connection with any sorts of dowry demand. The death is hardly within four years of the marriage. The factum of demand is proved as a case was earlier instituted under section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and was litigated. The demand may not be immediately prior to death but it has come that the demand was being raised. The petitioner is husband and his case cannot be equated with other accused persons, who have been granted bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Md.S. (Shyam Kishore Sharma,J.)
