2. This is an application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner for the offences alleged under Sections 302 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code registered in connection with Pakribarawan P.S.Case No. 182 of 2024.

3. As per the allegation, the deceased was done to death by the petitioner along with other matrimonial inmates due to non-fulfilment of demand of dowry.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent. He is father-in-law of the deceased having no concern with day to day affair with the couple. He has been implicated merely because he is father of the co-accused Dilkush Kumar with whom the marriage of the deceased was solemnized. Learned counsel, while drawing my attention towards para- 93 of the case diary, has submitted that the deceased has committed suicide.

5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.60237 of 2024(4) dt.20-09-2024 2/2 has opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that the deceased died in unnatural circumstances within three years of her marriage and there is allegation that the deceased was tortured mentally and physically so much so for dowry that she committed suicide.

6. From perusal of para-93 of the case diary, it appears that she committed suicide. In para-94, the Investigating Officer has mentioned that the husband and the wife used to quarrel. As submitted, the husband is in custody.

7. Considering the above facts and circumstances, let the petitioner above-named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Nawada in connection with Pakribarawan P.S.Case No. 182 of 2024, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall cooperate in the disposal of trial and make himself available as and when required by the court.
