IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION Dated : Nainital the 10th March, 2011 Order on the bail application of accused First Bail Application No.79 of 2011 CRIMINAL SIDE Manoj S/o Sashi Chand Singh … Applicant Versus State of Uttarakhand … Opposite Party Arising out of Case Crime No.11/2010 Under Section 304-B, 498-A, 201 I.P.C. & ¾ D.P. Act Patti Dabralsau District Pauri Garhwal Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Heard Mr. D. C. S. Rawat, the learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. S. S. Adhikari, the learned A.G.A. for the State. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties at some length, the court finds from a perusal of the first information report as well as from the counter affidavit filed by the State that a case of death by burning is writ large. The deceased, being the wife of the applicant, was burnt to death within one year from the date of her marriage. The burn injury on the back side of the hands of the applicant is prima facie an indication that the injury occurred while burning his wife and not while saving his wife. Consequently, at this stage, the court is not inclined to grant the bail. The bail application is rejected at this stage. (Tarun Agarwala, J.) Dated 10.03.2011 LSR
