2. Petitioner seeks bail, who is in custody since 29.04.2026, in connection with Marhowrah P.S. Case No. 37 of 2014, F.I.R. dated 23.02.2014 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B)/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. Allegation against the petitioner is of committing torture and caused death due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has clean antecedent and he has been falsely
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42773 of 2026(2) dt.06-07-2026 2/3 implicated in the present case. She further submits that the allegation as alleged in the F.I.R. is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. In fact, the deceased has committed suicide herself and the petitioner has no role at all in the present occurrence. She further submits that the date of occurrence as alleged in the F.I.R. is 20.02.2014 but the present F.I.R. was instituted on 23.02.2014 after delay of three days without giving any explanation of delay.
5. Learned APP for the State, on the other hand, vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that the present F.I.R. was instituted in the year 2014 and anticipatory bail was rejected by a Coordinate Bench of this Court on 14.05.2015 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 864 of 2015 and thereafter the petitioner has not approached any competent court of law when the process under Section 82+ 83 of the Cr. P.C. was initiated against the petitioner and thereafter he has surrendered on 29.04.2026.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this is not a fit case for grant of bail to the petitioner and hence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Marhowrah P.S. Case No. 37 of 2014 pending
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42773 of 2026(2) dt.06-07-2026 3/3 in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Saran at Chapra.
7. Prayer is refused.
