IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1812 of 2009 RANJAY CHAUDHARY @ TILU S/O-Sri Suryadeo Chaudhary, R/O-Vill-Maniachh, P.S.-Pauna (Sandesh), Distt.-Bhojpur. ………………………………………Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …………………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 29.06.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered for the offence under Section 304 B and some other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. The informant’s niece (Bhagini) Ranjana Kumari was married with the petitioner Ranjay Chaudhary @ Tilu. She was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demands with regard to that Sanha No.- 1463 dated 28.06.2006 was lodged. On account of her failure to bring the desired dowry articles she was killed. Submission is that some of the witnesses have stated that she has committed suicide. The petitioner belongs to a family 2 which is below the poverty line so there was no possibility of making any dowry demand. Others similarly situated accused have been granted bail. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased. His case cannot be equated with others. The Sanha indicates that earlier demand was made. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
