Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41126 of 2020(4) dt.02-08-2021 2/2 concocted. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case only because of his being the husband of the deceased. The deceased had left the house. Information was immediately given to her father. Subsequently her body was found, she having drowned in the river. The petitioner is in custody since 16.6.2020 and has no criminal antecedent.

The application for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel for the informant. It is submitted that the witnesses in course of investigation have supported the allegation as levelled in the F.I.R.. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and the application is rejected.
