IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32363 of 2009 SHIVJI SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 19.11.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner, who is father-in-law, has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 304 B/34 of the Penal Code. It appears that within few weeks of the marriage she was done to death in the matrimonial home. Looking to the F.I.R., it appears that there is allegation of demand of dowry and on non-fulfillment thereof the allegation of torture. It further reflects from the impugned order that during investigation some of the witnesses have supported the prosecution case. The materials on record do not justify grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected. Let petitioner surrender in the Court below and apply for regular bail which shall be considered and disposed of by the Court below on its own merit uninfluenced by the present order passed by this Court in the present proceeding.
