IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17029 of 2009 ABHIMANU LAL, son of Late Shiv Nandan Lal, Resident of Village-Rajauli, P.S.-Rajauli, District-Nawada …..Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar ……Opposite Party. ----------- 03. 06.07.2009 Heard Mr. Barnwal for the Informant and Mr. Ajay Thakur for the petitioner. The petitioner is the father-in-law and apprehends his arrest in Rajauli P.S. Case No. 141 of 2008 instituted under Sections 304B, 201, 120B of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the petitioner’s son Anup Kumar Barnwal was married to the deceased on 11.07.2008. She was found dead hanging in the night intervening 31st October and 1st November, 2008 i.e. in less than three and half months of her marriage. It is alleged that she had committed suicide because of the quarrel between the husband who wanted to take away her jewellery to liquidate the lost incurred because of gambling and no family member protected her. It is not in dispute that petitioner’s son and daughter-in-law was living at that time in the same house, though the son i.e. the husband of the deceased works for gain in Orissa. In the facts and circumstances stated 2 above, I am not inclined to entertain this application, it is dismissed as such. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today, the Court would consider the same and dispose of the same on its own merits without being prejudice by this order and taking his age into consideration along with his allegations in accordance with law. The application is dismissed with above observations. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
