IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.51342 of 2008 Ajay Kumar Singh, son of Ram Pukar Singh, resident of village- Mahinwara, P.S.- Mahnar, District-Vaishali. . . . Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 09.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered for the offence under Section 304 B/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is husband of deceased and he has taken defence that his wife died due to fall from the roof and on the date of occurrence petitioner was not present in the house. The doctor has noted that the death was on account of Asphyxia. The death is within seven years and prior to the death, the deceased was being tortured by the accused persons in connection with additional dowry demand. Considering this fact, I am no inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present. His prayer for bail is rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after examination of the informant in trial. Uday/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
