====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 13-12-2021 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Sarai PS case no. 367 of 2019 instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B), 201/34 of Indian Penal Code. The allegation is regarding the deceased victim lady having been killed by the accused persons on account of non-fulfilment of the demand for dowry. The petitioner is stated to be the father-in-law of the deceased victim lady. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case, is having a clean antecedent and is languishing in custody since 08.06.2020. The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that a general and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31055 of 2021(2) dt.13-12-2021 2/2 omnibus allegation has been levelled qua the petitioner herein and the main accused is the husband of the deceased victim lady, who is already behind bars.

Per contra, the learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the materials available on record as also considering the fact that a general and omnibus allegation has been levelled against the petitioner and the main accused is already behind bars, I deem it fit and proper to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail. Accordingly, the abovenamed petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned court of Additional Sessions Judge-X, Vaishali at Hajipur in connection with Sarai PS case no. 367 of 2019.
