Mr.Nand Kishore Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 13-07-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

Petitioner is accused in connection with Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 20 of 2019 for the offence registered under Sections 498A, 304(B), 201 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. Further submission is that the case has already been compromised between the parties. Petitioner is in custody since 10.10.2019, having no criminal antecedent.

Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State vehemently opposed the prayer of the petitioner by contending that the petitioner is husband of the deceased. There is direct

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14394 of 2020(4) dt.13-07-2020 2/2 allegation of committing the death of the deceased due to nonfulfillment of demand of dowry. Hence, this is not a fit case for regular bail.

Having considered the above facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced on behalf of the State, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner for grant of regular bail is rejected.
