IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23 of 2009 MUKESH KUMAR S/O KATNI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- MURAURA, P.S.- BIHAR, DISTRICT- NALANDA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 13/04/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered under sections 498 A, 304 B, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The petitioner is an accused of a case in which he has allegedly killed his wife within three years of her marriage on account of her inability to bring the desired dowry articles. Submission is that others have been admitted to bail and there is no specific allegation against the petitioner. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased and his status towards his wife is not equitable with any other accused persons. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Bihar P.S. Case No. 2 of 2008. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
