IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33308 of 2008 BRAJESH KUMAR @ BRAJESH KUMAR AZAD S/O-Shyamchandra Singh, R/O-Vill-Mandai Dih, P.S.-Patepur, Distt.-Vaishali. …………………………………………..Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 18.12.2008 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The informant’s daughter was married with the petitioner in the year 2004. She was killed allegedly on account of her inability to bring the additional dowry by her in-laws. Submission is that the petitioner works in Ramky Infrastructure at Jalandhar. He was on his duty on the alleged date of occurrence. A plea of alibi by a number of witnesses. It has not been verified by the I.O. It has not found to be disbelieved. The death is hardly within two years of marriage. The allegation is that the informant’s daughter was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demands. The petitioner being husband had onus to see the well being of his wife. But he connived with others and the death has occurred. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly his prayer for bail is rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
