The petitioner is in custody in a case registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 25.08.2014 at about 7.00 A.M. the informant received information that his daughter Bulo Devi has been killed by his son-in-law and family members. His daughter was married to the petitioner 12 years ago and just after the marriage her husband and family members started ill-treating her and once they pulled her into a well, however, she was saved. On the basis of the said information Katoria P.S. Case No. 229 of 2014 was registered against the petitioner.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.25072 of 2015 (2) dt.21-07-2015 petitioner has been falsely implicated and there is no specific allegation against the petitioner for assaulting the deceased. On behalf of the State it has been submitted that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and he is named in the F.I.R. The petitioner is in custody since 26.08.2014.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner and the prayer for bail is rejected.
