Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ram Naresh Singh, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md.Sufiyan (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 23-02-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Garhpura P.S. Case No. 24 of 2013, registered for the offences punishable under Section 304B and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code.

There is allegation that the petitioner subjected his wife to different sorts of torture due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and killed his wife with the help of other family members.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is, of course, the husband, but the petitioner was not present at the place of occurrence.

Considering the facts aforesaid and the fact that the petitioner is the husband and his wife died in unnatural condition within two years of her marriage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
