Case No.-205 Year-2018 Thana- PATLIPUTRA District- Patna ====================================================== Ratnesh Kumar Singh @ Ratnesh Kumar @ Ratnesh Prasad Singh Son of Bijay Kumar Singh Resident of Village-Sabarchak,P.S. Naubatpur,Dist.-Patna ... ... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Satish Chandra For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Sri Mukeshwar Dayal ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 05-04-2019 The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Patliputra P.S.Case No. 205 of 2018 registered under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner, who happens to be the husband of deceased, is of dowry death.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the material collected during investigation in para-16 of the case diary discloses that she has committed suicide at Jabalpur where she was residing and postmortem was also done there and no case was lodged there and to make the case serious allegation of demand of dowry has been levelled. It has further submitted that brother of the deceased was present on information at Jabalpur but he has not lodged such case at Jabalpur.

Heard learned APP and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant who have opposed the prayer for

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.584 of 2019(3) dt.05-04-2019 2/2 anticipatory bail on the ground that there is allegation of demand of car and though the informant has given Rs. 01 lac but she was still subjected to cruelty in such circumstances, death was unnatural as she has committed suicide, so petitioner does not deserve anticipatory bail.

Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to him rather he should surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and make prayer for regular bail, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.

Accordingly, this application stands dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sujit/- U T
