Case No.-52 Year-2025 Thana- UJIYARPUR District- Samastipur ====================================================== Sachin Ray @ Sachin Kumar @ Sachin Rai Son of Jagdish Ray Resident of Village - Mahisari, P.S.- Ujiarpur, District - Samastipur (Bihar). ... ... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Bhubneshwar Mahto, Advocate Mr. Aatish Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Ram Priya Sharan Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. SONI SHRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 10-02-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 80 and 3 (5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3. The petitioner along with other co-accused is said to have killed the daughter of the informant on nonfulfillment of demand of dowry.

4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that there is delay in lodging the F.I.R. and, as a matter of fact, the wife of the petitioner had committed suicide. It is further submitted that in the postmortem report the cause of death has been reserved till the receipt of the F.S.L. report. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69828 of 2025(4) dt.10-02-2026 2/2 F.S.L. report shows that there is no metalic, alkaloidal, glycosidal, pesticidal or volatile poison could be detected. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and has been languishing in custody since 11.04.2025.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the petitioner in association of other co-accused has killed the daughter of the informant.

6. Upon perusal of the records, it appears that no doubt F.S.L. report does not indicate any poison etc. but in the postmortem report itself, it is recorded that there is ligature mark on front of neck with fracture of cervical vertebrae and compression of trachea. The very fact that the petitioner, being the husband of the deceased, is primarily responsible for the welfare of his wife, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for bail is hereby rejected. However, the learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial. (Soni Shrivastava, J) Trivedi/- U T
