IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38811 of 2010 JITENDRA PANDEY Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 11.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Informant’s daughter is died due to burn injury. Prosecution case is that she was set on fire by in-laws including this petitioner (husband of the deceased) due to non-fulfilment of demand of dowry for which she was being tortured soon before the death within seven years of marriage in the matrimonial house. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the fire caught while the deceased was reading in her room, was taken to Hospital and provided proper medical treatment. Entry of Hospital is verified which mentions nowhere that the deceased was taken by this petitioner to Hospital and place of occurrence is the room of the deceased in which fire caught. The room in which it is submitted that she was reading remaining no sign of burnt articles, alibi is also submitted which is not to be considered at this stage rather that goes to show that this petitioner did not go to Hospital with the deceased. Torture and demand at petitioner’s 2 hand is also corroborated by the witnesses. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner is rejected. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
