IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42056 of 2008 JALESHWAR CHAUDHARY & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 13.1.2009 Heard. The case is under sections 302, 201 and 34 I.P.C. and sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and the allegation against the petitioners, who are father and younger brother of the husband of the deceased, is that they ill treated and tortured the lady to bring money from her father so as to, firstly, purchasing three-wheeler and thereafter for maintaining and repairing the same. The story is that initially a three-wheeler was purchased for rupees one lac and was handed over to the accused persons but subsequently they started demanding rupees forty thousand through the deceased for getting it repaired. The family members of the informant like his uncle and others have supported the allegation regarding demand of money, purchase of three-wheeler and further demand of money for getting the vehicle repaired. It appears that the dead body was disposed of and a 2 canard was disseminated in locality that the lady had run away from the matrimonial house. Some neighbours have expressed suspicion as if it could be a case of intentional murder. The contention is that the husband is in custody since 9.10.2007 and that petitioner no. 2 Bishun Chaudhary does not bear any direct allegation and further that he may not have any interest in the acts complained of. Be that as it may, regard being had to the definite allegation against the father, i.e. petitioner no. 1, Jaleshwar Chaudhary, his prayer for bail is dismissed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, petitioner no. 2 Bishun Chaudhary who does not bear specific allegation, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10000/(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Vaishali at Hajipur in Hajipur Sadar P.S. Case no. 299 of 2007. Anil/ ( Dharnidhar Jha,J )
