Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61446 of 2025(4) dt.17-11-2025 2/3 co-accused persons.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He next submits that petitioner is the husband of the deceased and the petitioner is named in the FIR. Petitioner has got clean antecedent as stated in para-3 of the petition and he is in custody since 21.07.2022. He next submits that other co-accused persons have already been granted regular bail by this Court passed in Cr. Misc. No. 19003 of 2024.

6. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner and submits that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and the deceased died due to nonfulfilment of dowry demand by the petitioner and other coaccused persons.

7. On perusal of the first information report and impugned order dated 21.07.2025, it appears that the deceased died in her husband's home due to strangulation, and therefore, after perusal of the records of the case, it is clear that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by her husband and his family members for the purpose of dowry and there is direct allegation against the petitioner for committing the death of the deceased, namely, Rekha Devi, so I am not inclined to grant regular bail to

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61446 of 2025(4) dt.17-11-2025 3/3 the petitioner.

8. Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
