IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21324 of 2008 LAV KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 22/09/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The informant’s daughter was married with the petitioner three years earlier. Subsequently she was killed by her inlaws because of her inability to procure desired dowry articles. Submission is that there is general allegation. The death was due to her health complications. She was married while she was aged about 6-7 years and the petitioner himself was a minor boy on the date of marriage. According to the allegation, the marriage is of the year 2003. On the prayer of the petitioner a Medical Board was constituted to examine the plea of the petitioner being juvenile on the date of occurrence. The medical board has conducted a detailed enquiry and has sent report saying that the petitioner is aged about 32-34 years. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioner is the husband and there is allegation of demand and torture prior to death, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
