IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2094 of 2011 PAPPU MANDAL @ PAPPU KUMAR MANDAL AND ANR. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 18.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner being husband of the deceased is languishing in jail custody since 19.11.2010 in connection with Raniganj (Baunsi) P.S. Case No.82 of 2010 registered under Section 304/34 of the I.P.C. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that in course of investigation some witnesses have stated that on the alleged date of occurrence an altercation took place between petitioner and deceased on account of a petty matter as deceased doubted the so-called illicit relationship of the petitioner with his Bhabhi and subsequently, deceased consumed poison, but I am not at all convinced with the submission of learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner because in postmortem examination, some injuries were found on the person of the deceased and apart from this, there is specific allegation against the petitioner that he demanded motorcycle in dowry and also subjected the deceased into cruelty soon before her 2 death. Taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, at this stage, stands rejected. PN (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
