JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 04-11-2019 Petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Baikunthpur P.S. Case No. 18 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B, 201, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.

Petitioner happens to be elder brother-in-law of the deceased and there is allegation of demand of Bolero vehicle and earlier also deceased was assaulted and later on she was killed.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he is living separately and he has falsely been implicated and other co-accused has been granted anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court by order dated 8.7.2019 passed in Cr.Misc.No. 41746 of 2019. Further submission is that during

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.51869 of 2019(3) dt.04-11-2019 2/2 investigation one of the witnesses has stated against the petitioner but he is not an eye-witness to the occurrence. Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant, who has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that husband of the deceased was not residing at the house and petitioner is the person who was managing the affairs and demanding the vehicle and he has taken back the deceased from her maike and as such he has hand in killing of the deceased.

In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. He may surrender and pray for regular bail. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
