Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 30.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 498A, 324, 326, 307 and 341/34 of the Indian Penal Code and later on Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. The submission is that the alleged occurrence had taken place on 05.01.2009 but when the deceased was taken to the hospital she narrated the matter only on 07.01.2009 when her brother arrived. The further submission is that the deceased died later on 13.01.2009 but in between period no effort was taken to record her statement by the Judicial Magistrate. However, there is specific allegation of having burnt the deceased to death against the petitioner and looking into the aforementioned submissions, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.
