IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25576 of 2009 SANJAY SINGH SON OF LATE BHARAT SINGH RESIDENT OF HARDAS TOLA,P.S.CHANDI,DISTT.BHOJPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr.Ravi Bhushan Kumar For the State : Mr.Addl.P.P. ----------- 4/ 7.1.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in Chandi P.S.Case No. 51 of 2007 which has been registered for offences under Sections 498(A),304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The marriage of the victim Savita Kumari was solemnized with the petitioner in the year 2005 and the allegation is that after marriage, torture in connection with demand of dowry of Rs.1,00000/- and one colour T.V. was raised by the in-laws and when the demand was not fulfilled, she was killed within two years of marriage. Submission is that the petitioner was not responsible for occurrence. The death was in his absence. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased and there is allegation that the victim was being subjected to torture by him and others. No doubt, some other persons have been granted bail but the case of the husband cannot be equated with other family members relating to torture and death to his wife. Considering all these, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
