IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24656 of 2008 BINOD PASWAN @ BINOD KUMAR PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 29.8.08 Heard Mr. Jitendra Kumar No.I for the petitioner, and Mr. Parmeshwar Mehta, learned A.P.P. The sole petitioner seeks bail in Patna G.R.P.S. Case No.8 of 2007, S.T. No.1564 of 2007, registered under sections 498A and 306 of the Indian Penal Code. From a perusal of the materials on record, it appears that charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioner under sections 306 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The F.I.R. states fully supported by the prosecution witnesses during the course of investigation that the accused persons including the petitioner, who is the husband of the deceased girl, had been constantly harassing and subjecting her to cruelty for demands of dowry. The girl used to tell her sasural people that her parents are very poor persons, had provided more than their resources at the time of wedding, and are unable to meet further demands of dowry. The 2 persisted demands of dowry and acts of cruelty lead to her suicide. It appears to me that this not a case in which the petitioner can be released on bail. It is accordingly rejected. ( S.
