The petitioner apprehends arrest in a police case under Sections 498A, 304B of the Penal Code and Sections ¾ of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegations are of death in three years of the marriage when the dead body was found lying in the house. That the date of occurrence is 21.7.2007. This Court on 7.11.2008 called for the forensic report of the viscera only whereafter the investigation officer on 15.11.2008 petitions the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate to have the viscera sent for examination. The laxity of the prosecution does not persuade this Court to grant the benefit to the petitioner in seriousness of the allegations. The application is rejected. The conduct of the investigation officer contrary to the provisions of Bihar Police Manual is the aspect to be appropriately looked into by the Sr.Superintendent of Police, Patna.
