IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24421 of 2008 SANJAI KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR - - - - 3. 8.9.2008 Heard. The case is under Sections 304(B) and 498(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and the allegation is that for not getting Rs. 25,000/- as additional dowry the petitioner, the husband, appears ill-treating and torturing the lady and ultimately killing her. Some of the paragraphs of the case diary in which the informant and his son have been examined, indicate that it was the petitioner who had informed the informant about the death of the deceased on account of diarrhoea and it is also not in dispute that the informant came and saw the dead body. The contention is that some paragraphs of the case diary, like, paragraph 10, contain the statements of some of the neighbours of the petitioner which indicate that the petitioner was happily living with the deceased and there was no rift or ill-will between the two. 2 Above all, the defence appears not acceptable simply for the reason that evidence of poisoning clearly appears recorded by the Doctor holding the Post-mortem examination as the nails and face were found bluish in colour. Be that as it may, it is also not definite that it was an intentional killing for dowry and no material in that regard is available presently. Let the above named petitioner, in the above facts and circumstances, be directed to be released from custody on his furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/-( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Ist Additional Sessions Judge, Nalanda at Bihar Sharif, in Sessions Trial No. 45 of 2008 arising out of Silao(Rajgir) P.S.Case No. 244 of 2007.
