IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7919 of 2010 SATENDRA CHOUDHARY, SON OF NEMAN CHOUDHARY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-BALIYARI, POLICE STATION-BIKRAM, DISTRICT-PATNA. …………………………………………………...PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR……………….OPPOSITE PARTY. -------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Pramod Kumar, Advocate. For the State : Mr. Uma Shankar Prasad Singh, A.P.P. ---------- 3. 19.3.2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is variation in the inquest report as well as in the post-mortem report of the deceased. As per the inquest report, no external injury was found whereas post-mortem report shows that the cause of death of the deceased was asphyxia. It has also been submitted that it has not been disclosed by the informant as to who had given information to him regarding the death of her grand daughter, Rinki - 2 - Devi. The petitioner, who is the husband of the deceased, is stated to be in custody since 5th of August, 2009. Learned A.P.P. for the State submitted that the death has occurred within three years of marriage and the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and there is allegation of demand of dowry and subsequently murder of the deceased at the instance of the in-laws of the deceased including the petitioner. The cause of death, which is apparent from the order of the Sessions Judge rejecting the bail prayer of the petitioner, was found to be asphyxia. Having regard to the gravity of the nature of the allegation against the petitioner and the facts and the circumstances of the case in which the allegation is that the deceased had been killed by her in-laws including the petitioner, who is the husband, within three years of marriage, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. As a result, this application is dismissed. P.S. (Dr. Ravi Ranjan,J)
