IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR.MISC. NO.10607 OF 2009 BINOD SAH, SON OF MUNNA SAH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE SHIVNARAYANPUR, POLICE STATION KAHALGAON, DISTRICT BHAGALPUR VERSUS STATE OF BIHAR ******** 2 01/05/2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner who is the husband is an accused in a case under Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that there was a demand of dowry and the petitioner used to assault his wife and ultimately she died due to burn injury. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has given information toa the mother-in-law that her daughter had been badly burnt. It is submitted that the petitioner’s bonafide can be tested from the fact that this aspect is admitted by the informant in the First Information Report. However, considering that the lady died due to burn injuries and there is allegation of demand, I am not inclined to grant bail to the above named petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Anand (Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
