For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mani Bhushan Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Pranav Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 11-11-2016 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Saraiya P.S. case No.6/ 2016 under Section 304B, 201,34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant alleged that his daughter, Saroj Devi, was married to the petitioner and she was killed by her husband and other in-laws.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no date of marriage is mentioned in the FIR. There is no allegation against the petitioner or any other family member that they were demanding any dowry. The petitioner was not present in his house. Other family members have been granted anticipatory bail vide order passed in Cr. Misc. No. 13972 of 2016 but it appears

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41356 of 2016 (2) dt.11-11-2016 2/2 that petitioner is the husband and his wife died and her dead body was disposed of hurriedly without informing the parents of the deceased.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
