The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Udwantnagar P.S. Case No. 243 of 2016 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B, 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant alleged that his daughter was married to Rajnish Kumar @ Rajnish Kumar Singh in the year 2010, but Rajnish Kumar @ Rajnish Kumar Singh and his family members were subjecting his daughter to different sorts of torture due to non-fulfillment of demand of additional dowry. The informant gave Rs. 50,000/- in the year 2013 for construction of house. Even, thereafter, the petitioner and his family members continued to torture the daughter of the informant. The daughter of the informant has got a female child and on 12.06.2016, the informant

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.45691 of 2016 (2) dt.25-11-2016 2/2 got information that his daughter and her child were burnt to death.

Shri Ramashankar Pradhan, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased. The deceased was suffering from Hepatitis B and she was under treatment of a doctor. The deceased set, herself, ablaze along with her child. The supervision note disclosed that the deceased committed suicide but, it appears that the deceased died of burn injuries within seven years of her marriage and there is allegation that the petitioner and other inlaws of the deceased were subjecting her to different sorts of torture due to non-fulfillment of demand of additional dowry. Even, post-mortem was not allowed to be held on the dead body and the same was hurriedly cremated. The daughter of the informant and her child were burnt to death.

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