IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19801 of 2009 SATISH SINGH, SON OF KRISHNA SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- CHHATANWAR, POLICE STATION- BRAHAMPUR (KRISHNA BRAHAM) IN THE DISTRICT OF BUXAR.---- PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 10.6.2009 Petitioner who is the brother-in-law (Dewar) has been made accused in a case under Sections 304B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegation in the First Information Report is that the father of the victim girl is said to have received information that his daughter is in danger. The informant went to the place of occurrence and found that nobody was present in the house. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that mother of the victim girl had stated that this petitioner had informed the parents that the girl was missing from the house. It is further submitted that the husband was demanding a motorcycle and dowry of Rs. 40,000/- cash and this petitioner has nothing to do with the aforesaid demand. Moreover not a single witness has come forward to say that they had seen the dead body of the 2 deceased lady being cremated by the petitioner’s family. It appears that the dead body has not been recovered as yet, as such it is submitted that there is only a presumption that she has been killed. Considering that the petitioner is only Dewar in this case, I direct that he (Satish Singh) should be released on bail in connection with Brahampur (Krishna Braham) P.S. Case No. 4 of 2009 on furnishing bail bond of rupees ten thousand with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
