The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Saksohara P.S. Case No. 25 of 2021, lodged under Sections 302, 304(B), 307, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prosecution story is that, the marriage of informant's daughter has solemnized with the petitioner. The allegation of demand of dowry is there in the F.I.R. and the death has been caused by burning of the wife and son of petitioner who are daughter and grand-son of the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He further

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.60551 of 2021(4) dt.28-09-2022 2/2 submits that conjugal life of petitioner with deceased was extremely good and it is due to this reason, out of their short span of time they have two kids. He further submits that it is an unfortunate occurrence or accident due to which the burning took place, in which wife of petitioner as well as his one child died. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that petitioner is in custody since 27.05.2021, charge sheet has already been filed in this case and antecedent of petitioner is clean.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there is a direct allegation against the present petitioner about commission of crime, demand of dowry is there and the death is also there.

In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, therefore, his bail application is hereby rejected. Learned court below is directed to complete the trial as early as possible.
