1. Satrughan Rai, son of Rameshwar Rai, resident of village Narwara, P.S. Baruraj, District Muzaffarpur.

.... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mrs. Babita Kumari, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Pushpa Sinha (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 11-05-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Baruraj P.S Case No. 208 of 2015 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B), 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Sheela Devi, the daughter of the informant was married to the petitioner and out of the wedlock there is a son also but allegedly the petitioner started demanding fridge, T.V. and washing machine and due to non-fulfillment, the petitioner and other co-accused killed her by tying rope on the neck and further electric shock was also given.

Submission is of false implication and that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3261 of 2017 (5) dt.11-05-2017 2/2 petitioner being husband has been made victim of the circumstances, the petitioner has never demanded anything, the wife of the petitioner was of short temperament and she committed suicide, due information was given to the informant but the informant lodged this false case resulting, the petitioner is in custody since 22.04.2016 and, as such, the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration.

Learned A.P.P opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that during investigation witnesses have supported the prosecution case and further the doctor has found the cause of death due to asphyxia as a result pressure over neck. In the facts and circumstances stated above, considering the allegation attributed against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and accordingly, his such prayer stands rejected in connection with Baruraj P.S. Case No. 08 of 2015, pending in the court of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, West Muzaffarpur.
