IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12893 of 2008 BHAVESH KUMAR @ BAVESH SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 20.8.2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner. In the opinion of this Court the petitioner, husband, facing allegation of offence u/s 304B I.P.C. does not deserve to be enlarged on bail on a mere consideration that after the wife is said to have died out of consuming poison by her in frustration grown in married life it was still the duty of the petitioner and his father to at least inform the informant, the father of the girl and other family members so that they could have at least a last look of the deceased and be satisfied that her death was a natural death. This having not done and the dead body of the deceased was disposed of without any information to the informant and/or his family members would only generate a feeling that the deceased was subjected to cruelty and done to death in suspicious circumstances which also get credence from the allegation against the petitioner having illicit relationship with 2 his Bhabhi. That being so, this Court having considered the statement of the witnesses on record is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. ( Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
