IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21606 of 2009 SUDARSHAN KAMKAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 20.08.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under sections 304-B and 201/34 IPC. From perusal of the FIR, it appears that the deceased was done to death within four years of marriage in mysterious circumstances in matrimonial home. It appears that the deceased was forcibly drowned to death. Subsequently, the body was fished out and subjected to post-mortem. The doctor has found that the death occurred due to drowning. This Court from the FIR and the impugned order finds that there was demand of dowry and on account of non-fulfilment thereof, she was done to death. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that witnesses have not supported the prosecution case. It is further contended that the husband of the victim is in custody. The petitioner appears to be in custody since 13.01.2009. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court, for the present, is not inclined to admit the petitioner 2 to bail. Prayer for bail made on his behalf is accordingly rejected. However, the petitioner is given liberty to renew his prayer for bail once he completes one year in jail custody. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
