IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8281 of 2011 Dhirendra Sahni Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 4 12-07-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. The petitioner, being husband of the deceased, is languishing in jail custody since 02.08.2010 on the charges that he committed dowry death of informant’s daughter. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that in course of investigation, some witnesses stated that the marriage of the petitioner had taken place with deceased 15 -16 years ago and as a matter of fact, the deceased died on account of her ailment after delivery of a female child. It is also pointed out by him that police after due investigation, submitted final form showing mistake of facts but learned court below took cognizance for the offence. It would appear from perusal of contents of first information report that the marriage of the deceased had taken place in the month of May, 2000 with the petitioner and admittedly, she died on 13.09.2007. So even if the aforesaid dates assumed to be true, then also the present case does not appear to come under the ambit of 304B of the Indian Penal Code. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submission of the parties, let the 2 petitioner, namely, Dhirendra Sahni be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Sessions Trial No. 509 of 2009/108 of 2009 arising out of Majorganj P.S. Case No. 147 of 2007 to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No.-I ), Sitamarhi. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
