The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Riga P.S. Case no. 149 of 2012 registered under Sections 304(B)/201 of the Indian Penal Code.

In-laws of the daughter of the informant are said to have committed dowry death of the daughter of the informant. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner happens to be husband of the deceased but he is not named in the F.I.R. and charge-sheet has also not been submitted against him rather he has been summoned to face the trial under Section 319 Cr.P.C. on indicating complicity of the petitioner in the occurrence by three witnesses. It is further

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.25296 of 2019(2) dt.19-04-2019 2/2 submitted that he has been falsely implicated in this case. He has no concern with the aforesaid occurrence. He has neither made any demand nor eliminated the deceased. It is counter blast of Riga P.S. Case No. 139 of 2012 lodged by the petitioner against the close relative of the informant.

On the other hand, learned APP opposed the bail prayer of the petitioner.

Petitioner happens to be husband of the deceased. Though, the petitioner is not named in the FIR, but he has been summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. to face the trial during course of the trial, hence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, his prayer is rejected.
