IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.30983 of 2011 Bijay Thakur Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 03/ 27.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is husband of the deceased and is languishing in jail custody since 30.4.2010 in a case initially, registered under sections 328, 307, 498A/34 of the IPC and 3/ 4 of the D.P. Act but subsequently, section 304B of the IPC was also added. The informant-Asha Devi specifically stated in her fardbeyan that it was the petitioner and her father-in-law who sprinkled kerosene oil on her body and her Dewar lit the fire on her body. Informant, admittedly, died in course of her treatment. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that co- accused Praveen Thakur has already been admitted to anticipatory bail by another bench of this court vide order dated 18.8.2011 passed in Cr. Misc. no. 25166/2011. Considering the above stated facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I do not think it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Amarpur P.S. Case no. 49/2010 pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banka is, hereby, rejected. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
