IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24021 of 2008 RAM CHANDRA PASWAN & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR with Cr.Misc. No.26500 of 2008 MINTU PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 09/07/2008 Above noted both applications have arisen out of one occurrence i.e. Dehari P.S. Case No. 327 of 2007 as such they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. According to the allegation, the informant’s sister married with petitioner Mintu Paswan in the year 2003 was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demand. Ultimately she was killed by burning. Submission is that the petitioners Ram Chandra Paswan and Lilawati Devi @ Lalita Devi are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased and they are separate with their son. No witness has supported the factum of torture. In fact, she has committed suicide. Further submission is that the petitioner Mintu Paswan who is the husband of the deceased was not present in the house at the time of occurrence rather he had gone to take tuition. Considering the allegation against the petitioner Mintu Paswan who happens to be the husband of the deceased and his case cannot be equated with the case of others as he had liability to look after the wife properly, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of petitioner Mintu Paswan of Cr. Misc. - 2 - No. 26500 of 2008 is rejected. However, petitioner Mintu Paswan shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the trial court after examination of the informant. So far as the petitioners Ram Chandra Paswan and Lilawati Devi @ Lalita Devi of Cr.Misc. No. 24021 of 2008 are concerned, they are directed to be released on bail on furnishing of bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the F.T.C. IV, Sasaram in S.Tr. No. 219 of 2008 arising out of Dehari P.S. Case No. 327 of 2007. avin. (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
