IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42993 of 2009 1. DHIRAJ KUMAR SON OF ANANDI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- SONSA, P.S.- HISUA, DISTRICT- NAWADA 2. SAHENSA DEVI, W/O ANANDI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- SONSA, P.S.- HISUA, DISTRICT- NAWADA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 27/01/2010 Heard Mr. Ashok Kumar Chaudhary learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the informant and learned APP for the State. It is submitted that the petitioner no. 2 was earlier released on bail and it is ordered that the prayer for bail of the petitioner no.1 will be considered after receipt of the case diary. Case diary has been received. The petitioner no. 1 who is the husband of the deceased seeks bail in a case which was initially registered under Sections 498A, 307, 328/34 of the Indian Penal Code and after death Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code was added. The informant Kavita Devi was married with the petitioner no. 1 three years prior to the occurrence. She has given her fard beyan in Primary Hospital that she was being subjected to torture by her inlaws and she was being pressurized to bring amount after selling the land by his father. She was not able to do so and under coercion she had taken rat poison. Submission is that the allegation is general in 2 nature and no specific allegation has been levelled against the petitioner. Other accused persons having similar allegation have been admitted to bail by this Court. There was no demand of dowry because the deceased was sole daughter of her parents and she was having entire rights over the properties. The petitioner is in custody since 13.10.2009. The petitioner no. 1 is the husband of the deceased and case of the husband who is accused of Section 304 B cannot be equated with the case of others. Considering the above facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner no. 1 on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the learned trial court if the parents of the informant do not support the prosecution case during trial. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
