IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10237 of 2011 Dharmendra Giri Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 03. 08.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Torture for demand of dowry soon before the death within seven years of the marriage in matrimonial house due to burn injury is the allegation. Submission of the learned counsel for petitioner is that witness was not present at the time of occurrence and victim herself has given a statement exonerating all the in-laws including this petitioner by saying that kerosene oil lamp fell on her body while cat crossed from there, but that finds no corroboration from the place of occurrence, time is said 3.00 A.M., and there is no sign of burning in the room. Allegedly she was taken by her father-in-law and mother-in-law in Hospital. It appears to me that a conspiracy is played even taking the police in confidence to exonerate accused persons. Father in-law and mother in-law have been allowed bail by a bench of this court vide Cr. Misc. No.10053 of 2011, appears obtained without giving clear picture of the case. There is specific allegation against this petitioner that demand was being made by him and torture was also caused. Accordingly, petitioner's prayer for regular bail stands rejected.
