IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33014 of 2010 MD. JAHANGIR, SON OF MD. USMAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 11.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Nardiganj P.S. Case No. 68 of 2009, initially registered under Sections 498(A), 341, 324, 307 of the Indian Penal Code and subsequently, 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code was added. Admittedly, after institution of the instant case, the victim died in course of her treatment. Petitioner is husband of the deceased and there is specific allegation that the victim was subjected to cruelty and harassment by the petitioner and his other family members on account of non-fulfilment of illegal demand of dowry and subsequently, deceased was burnt to death and in the aforesaid incident, the petitioner also participated. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the deceased committed suicide as she was not ready to lead her conjugal life with the petitioner and after the aforesaid incident, deceased was brought to hospital by her in-laws and much prior to the above stated incident, the petitioner and several other persons had given a petition before the concerned official in respect of conduct and behaviour of the deceased. Considering the aforesaid facts as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of bail to petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected.
