For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Arvind Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Parmanand Kumar(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER 09-10-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Neemchak Bathani P.S. Case No. 57 of 2015 registered under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code pending in the court of J.M. Ist Class, Gaya.

The accusation is of killing of Chhoti Devi, daughter of informant, Mohan Ram, by her husband and in-laws for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry by sprinkling kerosene oil and to dispose of her dead body.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is the husband of the deceased and has falsely been

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42647 of 2015 (2) dt.09-10-2015 implicated in this case as the daughter of the informant sustained burn injury in course of cooking meal and she was rushed to the ANMCH, Gaya for treatment thereafter referred to P.M.C.H., Patna, where she died.

Admittedly, the deceased is the wife of the petitioner, who died within four years of her marriage at her Sasural.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
