It would appear from the case diary that in course of investigation, several witnesses stated that deceased died in mysterious circumstance and her dead body was disposed of by the petitioner without giving any information to the parents of the deceased.
Patna High Court Cr.Misc.

Regard being had to the facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner, accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Tajpur ( Hali) P.S.Case No. 294 of 2012, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Samastipur.
