Mr.Satyendra Narayan Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 18-06-2019 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Bishanpur P.S. case No. 13 of 2019 registered under Section 304B/201/34 of the IPC.

The informant, father of the deceased, alleged that his daughter solemnized marriage with petitioner but immediately after marriage her husband and his family members began her to torture for non fulfillment of additional demand of dowry. On 18.01.2019 the informant came to know that his daughter was killed and on enquiry the petitioner is said to have disclosed that the deceased committed suicide. It is further alleged that petitioner and others killed the daughter of informant and hurriedly cremated her dead body.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, of course, the petitioner is husband of the deceased but there was no dowry at the time of marriage. Court marriage was solemnized between the petitioner and his wife Subhangi. On

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37153 of 2019(2) dt.18-06-2019 2/2 account of certain dispute the wife of the petitioner committed suicide but parents of the deceased was also living in the same village and information was given to them and they participated in the cremation but later on the father of the deceased lodged this case with false allegation but it appears that father of the deceased made specific allegation that it was the petitioner who killed his daughter and hurriedly cremated her dead body without giving any information. Wife of the petitioner was killed immediately after her marriage and her dead body was hurriedly cremated. The petitioner is husband and he is solely responsible for the death of his wife and cremation of her dead body without giving any information either to the police or to the informant.

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