IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14777 of 2009 RAJBALLAM DAS @ RAJ BALLABH DAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 06.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. Petitioner is the father-in-law who is in judicial custody since 17.10.2007 in relation to Masaurhi P S Case No.31 of 2007 which was instituted under sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and ¾ of Dowry Prohibition Act. No doubt the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on 30.9.2008 but now looking at the period petitioner spent in custody, the advancing age and also the fact that he has to still face trial for the allegation, let petitioner Rajballam Das alias Raj Ballabh Das be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the S D J M, Masaurhi in Masaurhi P S Case No. 31 of 2007 with a direction that petitioner will appear before the trial court and shall not abscond from law. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
