Mr.Md. Nazir Ansari, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 03-12-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

Petitioner in the present case is seeking regular bail in connection with Dhaka P.S. Case No. 81 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it was a love marriage between the petitioner and the deceased and the allegation of demand of dowry is only baseless and concocted. The father of the deceased had earlier lodged an FIR alleging kidnapping of his daughter by this petitioner, unfortunately after the death of wife of the petitioner the Sasural people of this petitioner got an opportunity to falsely implicate in the name of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that in the FIR there is

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61991 of 2019(3) dt.03-12-2019 2/2 no allegation against the petitioner of demand of dowry and there is no material in the case diary to keep him in custody. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, wherein it appears that the petitioner is the husband and his wife died due to serious burn injuries inside the four corners of the house and it is alleged that there was a demand of dowry for that she was being tortured and the petitioner is in custody only since 08.03.2019, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to this petitioner at this stage.

Let the trial be expedited.
