IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11216 of 2009 JAGESHWAR MANDAL S/O LATE DARBARI AMNDAL, R/O VILLAGE- SOHTHA, P.S.- FALKA, DISTRICT- KATIHAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 24/07/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel representing the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered under sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant has alleged that his daughter Bechani Devi married with the petitioner’s son was strangulated by the petitioner and his wife. She protested the establishment of physical relationship with her by the petitioner and so she was killed. Statement of the son of the petitioner has been recorded in course of investigation in which he has stated that at the time of occurrence his mother was not in the house. He further stated that the petitioner has tried to rape his daughter- in-law and in failing on his attempt he has committed murder. A panchayati was also convened with regard to behaviour of the petitioner in the past also. Considering the conduct of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
