IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24134 of 2011 Janak Shah @ Janak Sah Versus The State of Bihar ----------- 02 22.07.2011 The petitioner has been languishing in jail since 24.3.2011 in connection with Nawanagar P.S.Case No.60 of 2008 for the alleged offences under Section 304(B), 201/34 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. It has been alleged by the complainant Bhagwati Devi that earlier a complaint by her daughter Priyanka Kumari alleging offences under Section 498A and 379 had ended in compromise, and the accused had taken the said Priyanka Kumari to her matrimonial home from the court on 4.12.2006. Thereafter, Priyanka Kumari was produced once again by the accused on 14.12.2006 before the Court. It is alleged that thereafter the complainant being the mother of Priyanka Kumari along with her husband and son , went to Priyanka Kumari’s matrimonial home, but they were not permitted to meet her which raised suspicion in her mind that the accused have killed her daughter Priyanka Kumari and disposed of her dead body. This led to an FIR being registered in NawanagarP.S.Case No.60/2008 which is the present case. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that this petitioner’s wife after due trial in Sessions Trial No.394 of 2008 already been acquitted in terms of judgment dated 2 3.11.2010 passed by the learned Additional District & Sessions Judge, F.T.C.III, Buxar. According to him no useful purpose will be served in keeping the petitioner in jail in view of the detailed consideration of all the materials, facts, circumstances and evidences and consequent acquittal of his wife relating to the same matter. After hearing learned APP and considering the fact that the case of the petitioner is similar to that of his wife who had already been acquitted after due trial, let the petitioner Janak Shah alias Janak Sah be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- ( ten thousand ) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Buxar in Nawanagar P.S.Case No.60 of 2008. psc (Vikash Jain, J.)
