Mr. Yogendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Atul Chandra ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 15-06-2020 This case has been heard through video-conferencing. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Section 304-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 3⁄4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Petitioner along with other family members is said to have killed the daughter of the informant by wrapping rope on her neck on non-fulfillment of dowry demand. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. He has been falsely implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9250 of 2020(3) dt.15-06-2020 2/2 nature. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased and parties to the case have compromised the matter. It is also submitted that the deceased Seema Devi was suffering from mental illness and due to this she committed suicide. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Per contra, learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the petitioner in association of his family members has killed the daughter of the informant, hence he does not deserve anticipatory bail by this Court.

Considering the facts and circumstances of case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court below within six weeks from today and seek regular bail and the learned Court below would pass order in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order.
