The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Noorsarai P.S. Case No. 8 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B), 204 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant filed the complaint case on the basis of which the present FIR was registered. The informant made allegation that her daughter was married to the petitioner in the year 2012 but she was subjected to all sorts of torture by her husband and other in-laws due to non-fulfillment of demand of additional dowry. The informant narrated the story that how her daughter was subjected to torture. The informant further alleged that on 16.09.2016, her daughter was burnt to death and her dead body was hurriedly cremated.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18178 of 2017 (2) dt.16-05-2017 2/2 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased. The petitioner is working in a company in Gujarat. On information, the petitioner came to his house to participate in shradh ceremony of his wife. The informant and her other family members also participated in shradh ceremony of the deceased. Later on a false case has been lodged but, it appears that the informant made specific allegation that the petitioner and other burnt her daughter to death. No postmortem was held on the dead body of the deceased. The prescriptions attached with the bail petition do not show that the victim was suffering from any fatal disease.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above named on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
