IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45040 of 2008 1. RABIKANT JHA S/O DIWAKAR JHA R/O VILL. BANDHUDIH P.S. SHAMBHUGANJ, DIST. BANKA. -------- PETITIONER Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR ----- OPP. PARTY. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Brij Nandan Prasad,Advocate. For the State: Mr. Ajay Kumar Singh, APP. 04. 16.04.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioners, who is husband of the deceased, has approached this court for grant of anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Section 304B, 201 and 120(B) of the Penal Code. Admittedly, the victim died in the matrimonial home in a very suspicious circumstance. She suffered 96% burn injury. This occurred within a year of the marriage. The F.I.R. indicates allegation of demand of dowry followed by torture. Learned counsel for the petitioner referring to annexure-3 submits that the petitioner also received some burn injury and he made statement before the police explaining the circumstance under which his wife suffered burn injuries. Be that as it may, this court, on perusal of the materials on record including the impugned order, is not satisfied that a case for anticipatory bail has been made out. Accordingly, the application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.) 2
