IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.45782 of 2009 PAPPU PASWAN son of Shivnath Paswan Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6/ 21.06.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 498-A, 304-B of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted that the informant has alleged that his daughter was done to death by her in-laws including the petitioner, who was husband of the deceased, by burning her for the ends of dowry. However, it appears from the First Information Report itself that the deceased had been taken to the hospital where she died on the next day and there is no averment anywhere that the deceased had disclosed that she had been burnt to death by her in-laws. Considering the same and also the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 23.10.2008 and even charges have not been framed till 21.4.2010 as per the report of the trial court, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.5,000/- (five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya, in connection with Muffasil P.S.
