IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20364 of 2009 BABLOO THAKUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 17-06-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. It is the case of dowry death. Petitioner is husband. His innocence is emphasized on the ground of his remaining out of the State in connection with his livelihood and deceased being earlier married with an aged person who left her due to illicit connection. This much of the fact if is not corroborated in the case diary even then it is clear from the message of the petitioner’s side that there could be another reason for killing also, otherwise there is clear allegation regarding torture. Death is not natural one, nor due to ailment. Further I find no substance in the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that depression of the deceased for her marriage with the petitioner against her will or only giving birth of female child was the reason behind her committing suicide. Accordingly, this application is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial as early as possible. BTiwary/ ( Mandhata Singh, J )
