IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31546 of 2009 RAM SWARTH PANDIT Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 07/09/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is the father-in-law in custody in a police case under Sections- 304B/34 of I.P.C. There was an earlier prosecution under Section-498A of I.P.C. in which also the petitioner was on bail. That is still pending. Death in other than natural circumstances by hanging has taken place during the pendency of the same. The petitioner is in custody since 29.5.2009. The defence that the husband is in custody does not persuade this Curt in the facts and circumstances of the case to grant him bail at this stage. The application is rejected. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
