IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32832 of 2008 KUNDAN SINGH S/O SRI KRISHNA SINGH R/O VILLAGE- TOLA PIPRA,P.S. BHAIROGANJ,(BAGAHA) DISTRICT- WEST CHAMPARAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 14/11/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The informant’s daughter could not even see a full year of her married life. She was married on 29.4.2007 and she left the world on 22.9.2007. Allegation is that she was subjected to torture by her inlaws including the petitioner on account of her inability to procure the desired dowry articles. On 22.9.2007 she made the last telephone call to her father saying that he should come and take her back so she could save herself. On the next date she was killed. Submission is that the girl was not in proper frame of her mind. She has left the house once and was found in abandoned condition and this fact has been reported by her father to police. Other accused persons having similar allegation have been admitted to bail by this court. This was not a killing rather it was a natural death and the petitioner is not at all responsible. The villagers of the petitioner are witnesses of the occurrence and they have stated that while she was taken away for proper treatment then she died. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased and no doubt some other accused persons have been admitted to bail but case of the husband cannot be equated with the case of others in a case under section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code. The death is approximately - 2 - within five months of marriage and just prior to alleged date of occurrence the victim informed her father regarding her imminent apprehension of her life. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Bagaha (Bhairoganj) P.S. Case No. 521 of 2007. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
