Versus
1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Praveen Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. S.D.Singh Yadav (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 23-03-2015 Heard both sides.
The petitioner seeks bail in Malsalami P.S. Case No. 490 of 2013, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B), 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. There is allegation against the petitioner that the petitioner and other inlaws were subjecting the deceased for mental and physical torture for demand of dowry and the deceased died. The informant alleged that the petitioner informed that his sister consumed poison, but by that time the informant arrived and saw that the dead body was cremated.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is, of course, the husband of the deceased, but there is
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.45439 of 2014 (4) dt.23-03-2015 2/2 no specific allegation of demand of dowry and torture. It appears from the perusal of the records, that the victim was married to the petitioner in the year 2013 and after six months of her marriage the victim died in her Sasural. There is allegation that the petitioner was subjecting his wife for mental and physical torture for demand of dowry and the wife of the petitioner died after consuming poison, hence I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. It is submitted that the petitioner is in jail for one year and two months. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same positively within one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
