IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29532 of 2008 AJAY KUMAR @ PAPPU SINGH, S/O LATE CHANDRIKA SINGH @ NATHUNI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE-SAGUNI, P.S.-MASAURHI, DISTRICT-PATNA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 11/11/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant. Informant’s second daughter Anjita @ Mantu married on 22.6.2003 with the petitioner was done away within few years of her marriage by her greedy husband and his family members. She was being subjected to torture due to her inability to procure rupees one lac from her parents and ultimately she was burnt to death. Submission is that the victim has received burn injury and the petitioner has tried his best to save her and in that course the petitioner has also received some injury. After injury the victim was brought to Apollo Burn Hospital where the best medical treatment was given to her but she could not survive. There is allegation that the victim was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demand and ultimately she was done to death. The petitioner is the husband and he has absconded for five years. Case of the husband cannot be equated with the case of others in a case under section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code. Considering the above fact, I am not inclined to enlarge the above named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
