IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36952 of 2008 VIJAY SAH SON OF LATE JANGALI SAH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PIPRA,P.S.GHORA SAHAN,DISTRICT EAST CHAMPARAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4/ 17.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Initially the present case was registered for offences under Sections, 498(A),307 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code on the fardbeyan of Sanju Devi whose statement was recorded in Female Ward of the Hospital in which she has alleged that she was married two and half years ago with the petitioner. She was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demand. Regularly she was taunted by mother-in- law and sister-in-law in presence of her husband. In torturing, husband was assisting his mother and sister and later on she was burnt by using kerosene oil. She was admitted to hospital and in course of treatment she died. Submission is that there is no allegation that the petitioner has demanded any money ; rather only allegation is that he has sided with his mother in her torturing. Considering the fact that this is a case of 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code and the petitioner is the husband of the deceased, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
