Mr.Pranav Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 14-03-2024 Heard Mr. Shailendra Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Pranav Kumar, learned APP for the State.

2. At the very outset, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner seeks to ignore the mistakes in the typed copy of the FIR, considering the fact that the same has not been properly compared with the original copy of certified copy of the FIR.

3. Petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Jay Nagar P.S.Case No.205 of 2023 corresponding to G.R.No.797 of 2023, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 201/34 & 120(B)of the Indian Penal Code.

4. As per the allegation made in the FIR, due to nonfulfilment of the dowry, the petitioner along with his family

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13951 of 2024(2) dt.14-03-2024 2/2 members committed murder of the daughter of the informant.

5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and he had taken best efforts at his level to get his wife treated in a Hospital but could not save her life. The informant had participated in the funeral ceremony of his daughter and on the instigation of the villagers, a false case of dowry death has been lodged against the petitioner and his family members.

6. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail submitting that the offence is serious in nature.

7. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, considering the nature of allegation made in the FIR and the complicity of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on pre-arrest bail.

8. Accordingly, the bail application of the petitioner is dismissed.
