====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN ORAL ORDER 10-08-2022 Let the defect, if any, be removed within two weeks from today.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.
The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Gaurichak P.S. Case No. 112 of 2019 lodged under Sections 304B, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
In the F.I.R. the allegation of dowry death is against the petitioner.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is husband of the deceased. The marriage was solemnized in the year 2016. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that deceased was not happy with this marriage and only due to this reason she has committed suicide. He further
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13020 of 2022(3) dt.10-08-2022 2/2 submits that there was absolutely no demand from the side of petitioner. He further submits that rest of the accused persons were granted bail in this case, the only unfortunate part is that the petitioner is the husband.
Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that it is a clear cut case of dowry death. There is specific allegation of demand of dowry and dead body was found/recovered from the house of the petitioner which is supported by the materials found in the case diary. In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present.
The trial court is directed to expedite the trial as earliest as possible.
With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
