Mr. APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 20-01-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The petitioner is the husband who apprehends his arrest in connection with Gopalpur P.S. Case No. 117/2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 342/323/ 498A/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3⁄4 of the D.P. Act.

As per the prosecution case, due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry, all the accused persons including this petitioner tortured and harassed her. Lastly, on 19.07.2019 at about 08:00 P.M. she was severely assaulted by means of fists and slaps and the petitioner tried to set her on fire by

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 27234 of 2020(3) dt.20-01-2021 2/2 sprinkling kerosene oil.

Considering the fact that the specific allegation of demand of dowry and assault is against this petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him bail.

It is, accordingly, rejected.
