IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43293 of 2008 MUNNA SHARMA SON OF ASHOK SHARMA RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KARHRIA,P.S.BANKA,DISTRICT BANKA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 1.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is the husband of informant’s daughter Rubi who was married in the year 2002 and at the time of marriage sufficient dowry was given but that did not fulfil the expectation of the petitioner and his family members. So the petitioner demanded Rs.50,000/- and when that was not fulfilled, informant’s daughter was killed. Submission is that the allegation is not specific against the petitioner and many of the accused persons have been granted either anticipatory bail or regular bail. The petitioner was arrested on 24.4.2008 and since then he is in jail custody. Further submission is that the victim was treated by the doctor and due to her condition, she was referred to Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College for better treatment but in the way she died. As the petitioner is the husband of the deceased, his case cannot be equated with other accused persons in cases of demand of dowry, torture and death. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
