IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35804 of 2009 KRISHNA DAS S/O- HARDEO DAS RESIDENTOF BHOPATPUR, BISUNPUR, P.S- KOTWA, DISTT- EAST CHAMPARAN… …PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR…. OPPOSITE PARTY For the Petitioner: Dhananjay Kumar No. 2, Advocate For the State: Mr. Jitendra Kumar Singh, A.P.P. ----------- 5 21.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under sections 304B and 210/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is general and omnibus allegation of demand of dowry and killing the deceased upon all the accused persons including the petitioner, who happens to be the husband of the deceased. It is also stated that during the course of investigation no specific material has come against any of the accused persons including the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and there is allegation of demand of dowry and ultimately the deceased was killed within three years of marriage and there is no explanation with regard to the unnatural death. The materials collected during the course of investigation 2 also do not go to show that the deceased had died her natural death. Having regard to the gravity of the offence and the fact that there is allegation of demand of dowry and the deceased had died subsequently, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail for the present. This application is, accordingly, dismissed at this stage. SC ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
