IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3967 of 2009 ANIL RAI S/O-Jamun Rai, R/O-Vill-Rambhadra, P.S.-Hajipur Town, Distt.-Vaishali. ………………………………………….Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR …………………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 29.04.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code. The death is within seven years of marriage and there is allegation that prior to death the victim was being subjected to torture by her-in-laws in connection with dowry related demands. Submission is that the death was due to Cholera and the petitioner’s wife was never killed. Her dead body was cremated in presence of her father. The petitioner is in custody since 04.08.2008. The death in this case is within seven years of her marriage. There is allegation that 2 the victim was being subjected to torture prior to death in connection with dowry related demands. No doubt, some accused persons have been granted either regular bail or anticipatory bail but the role of the petitioner cannot be equated with others. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
