.... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Birendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. S. Ehteshamuddin ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 19-04-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Sirdala P.S.Case No. 168 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Petitioner happens to be husband of the deceased and the case is of dowry death.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that as a matter of fact the petitioner has himself taken her to the hospital and got her treated for a month as her sari caught fire in course of preparation of food.

Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stating that there is allegation of

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.23279 of 2018 (2) dt.19-04-2018 2/2 demand of dowry and torture against the petitioner, who happens to be husband.

Having heard both sides and in the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, rather petitioner to surrender and make prayer for regular bail, which shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by this order.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
