For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Bhaskar Shankar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Singh, APP Mr. Raghunandan Kumar Singh, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PRIYA ORAL ORDER 5/ 07-03-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State as well as counsel for the informant. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in Karahgar P.S. Case No.07 of 2017 instituted for the offence under Section(s) 304-B, 201, 120-B/34 Indian Penal Code and Section 3⁄4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act pending in the Court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram. Petitioner is husband of the deceased.
There is allegation that daughter of the informant was married with this petitioner about five years back. She was abused and tortured in Sasural for not having given birth to any baby and also for demand of rupees three lac in dowry. It is alleged that on 06.01.2017 daughter of the informant called him and asked to send her brother, Vikash, to visit her Sasural. His
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.59348 of 2017 (5) dt.07-03-2018 2/2 son went to her Sasural on 07.01.2017, but did not find any person in her Sasural. Thereafter, the informant came to the Sasural of his daughter and learnt from the villagers that this petitioner and accused persons have murdered her daughter and cremated dead body.
In this manner, from the written report itself, it appears that dead body was disposed of without giving any information to the informant and his family members. Petitioner is husband of the deceased.
In such circumstances, this Court does not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.
Prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.
