IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23406 of 2010 SHIV SHANKAR PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 09.07.2010 Petitioner being the husband is languishing in jail in connection with a case registered under Section 302 of the I.P.C. It is alleged that the informant’s daughter was married five years prior to the occurrence with petitioner. On the alleged date, the ambulance driver Binod Paswan informed that the daughter of the informant has been burnt by the husband and thereafter the informant rushed, but it was found that while the victim was being taken to Purnea, she succumbed to the injuries. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner was on duty when the occurrence took place. Though there is no allegation of demand of dowry or dowry related torture in the F.I.R. but since the petitioner is the husband and the marriage took place only five years prior to the occurrence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The application for grant of bail is rejected at present. Shageer ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
