====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER ------------- 19-02-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sikty P.S. Case No.25 of 2015 (S.T. No.445 of 2015) registered under Sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Araria.

The accusation is of killing Sumitra Devi, the daughter of the informant Fulo Devi, by her husband and other in-laws including the petitioner for non fulfillment of the dowry demand. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the father-in-law of the deceased and has falsely been implicated in this case. The petitioner is in

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.57639 of 2015 (3) dt.19-02-2016 2/2 custody since 11.04.2015.

Admittedly, the daughter-in-law of the petitioner died within three years of her marriage at her matrimonial house and in the post-mortem report of the deceased, the cause of her death has been shown as asphyxia due to strangulation.

Having regard to the facts and the circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail stands rejected. (Rajendra Kumar Mishra, J) P.S./- U T
