IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35630 of 2008 CHHOTE LAL SAHNI @ CHHOTAN SAHNI Versus STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3/ 15.01.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is husband and accused of the case which has been registered under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code relating to alleged killing of the informant’s sister Chunchun Devi within seven years of her marriage. Submission is that the marriage was more than seven years earlier. So, the case is not made out under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code. The informant has compromise the case. The compromise petitions are by way of Annexure-2. The compromise petition has been filed here as Annexure-2. Learned Counsel for the informant has opposed the submission of learned Counsel for the petitioner that the matter has been compromised. He has submitted that the informant was made to sign on a plain paper on another promise and not the promise of the compromise. Be that as it may the case is under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code, there is allegation of murder. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant - 2 - anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
