IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19731 of 2009 1. SUMAN KUMAR SINGH, son of Raj Kishore Singh 2. Neelam Devi, wife of Suman Kumar Singh 3. Rampari Devi, wife of Raj Kishore Singh All are residents of village-Dharopali, P.S.-Sahebganj, Distt.-Muzaffarpur----- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Petitioners. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 16.9.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that it is not a case of dowry death rather of suicide and demand is in kind of getting the land transferred which never comes within the definition of dowry but I find no substance in the submission. Bruise is found on the neck. If the case does not fall under section 304B of the Indian Penal Code then also it is a case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Circumstance stated in the case clearly involves all the family members including sister-in-law( Gotni). Accordingly, prayer of the petitioners is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender in the court below and pray for regular bail. Petitioner no.2, who is stated to be pregnant and standing on the footing of the deceased, will be favourably considered while the court below will decide regular bail without being prejudiced by the rejection order. Father-in-law of the deceased has been allowed regular bail and that can be taken a ground for the rest of the accused persons. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J )
