IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.20650 of 2011 Sano Das @ Sonu Das Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 12-09-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. Petitioner seeks bail in connection with Barachatti P.S. Case No. 249 of 2010 registered under Sections-304B, 201, 498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Petitioner is husband of the deceased and it would appear from perusal of the written report that marriage of the petitioner with the deceased had taken place four years ago and allegedly, the petitioner used to torture the deceased on account of non-fulfillment of illegal demand. Furthermore, it would appear from the record that the dead body of the deceased was recovered from a well. Although learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased was accidentally fell into the well as a result of which, she died but in course of investigation, several witnesses had stated that the petitioner used to torture the deceased on account of non- fulfillment of illegal demand. Taking into consideration the above-said facts and circumstances as well as submission of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. 2 Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Barachatti P.S. Case No. 249 of 2010 is, hereby, rejected. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
