IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.16203 of 2011 Suraj Singh @ Manoj Prasad Singh Versus The State Of Bihar 03/ 11.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is husband of the deceased and there is specific allegation against him that he set the deceased on fire as a result of which she died in course of her treatment. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that alleged occurrence took place on 5.8.2010 whereas the first information report was lodged on 17.8.2010 and thereafter the petitioner was arrested by the police on 19.8.2010 from the village of the informant. It is further contended by him that, as a matter of fact, deceased was caught accidentally in fire but after aforesaid incident informant, at the behest of enemy of the petitioner, has lodged the case against the petitioner. It would appear from perusal of the case diary that several witnesses have supported the case and at para 20 of the case diary statement of deceased has been recorded and in the said statement, she had supported the allegation levelled against the petitioner. Accordingly, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and hence his prayer for bail in Pothia(Paharkutta) P.S. Case no. 141/2010 corresponding in Sessions Trial no. 1308/2010 pending in the court of Addl. Sessions Judge FTC No. IV, Kishanganj stands rejected. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
