IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.51633 of 2008 1. MD.RAYEESH MIAN , Son of Sharif Mian 2. Sharif Mian, Son of Late Thag Mian Both are resident of Village-Kathiya Mathiya Tola, Parsurampur, P.S. Khangali, District- West Champaran -------------------------- Petitioners. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 08-04-2009 Heard Miss Deepa Kumari, learned counsel for the petitioners, namely, Md. Rayeesh Mian and Sharif Mian, the father- in-law and brother-in-law of deceased Hasantara Khatoon who is alleged to have been the victim of “dowry death” for non-fulfilment of dowry demand. The submission on behalf of the petitioners is that they have been falsely implicated in this case although they lived separate from their son and deceased daughter-in-law from long before and that she died when the house accidentally caught fire and she was unable to escape. From the case diary it appears that there is no indication of separate living of the petitioners nor is there any indication of the house having caught fire in such a manner so as to cause death of the deceased. In the facts and circumstances I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Their prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. NKS/- ( Abhijit Sinha, J ) - 2 -
