Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.63016 of 2025(4) dt.09-12-2025 2/2 falsely been implicated in this case merely because he happens to be husband of the deceased. Informant is not an eye witness to the occurrence. Petitioner claims clean antecedents.

5. On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and submitted that petitioner is named in the F.I.R. with specific accusation that he, along with his family members, committed murder of daughter of informant due to nonfulfillment of additional demand of dowry. Petitioner is husband of the deceased who died unnatural death at her matrimonial house within seven years of marriage.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, specific and direct nature of accusation, gravity of offence and the fact that petitioner is husband of deceased, who died unnatural death at her matrimonial house within seven years of marriage, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is rejected.
