IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2148 of 2008 SUGRIV SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6 4.7.2008 Heard the parties. The petitioner who is the husband, is an accused in a case under sections 304B and 498 of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this case comes under the purview of section 306 of the Penal Code as a number of witnesses have said that the lady had committed suicide by hanging. The reason for hanging is that this petitioner is said to have demanded a motor cycle as dowry. In the F.I.R. it is said that the petitioner went to the informant’s housed to break the news that his wife was very ill with a stomach upset. However, when they came back, they found that she had committed suicide which is contrary to the story told by the petitioner. In the circumstances aforesaid I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. This bail petition is dismissed. Haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
