2. In the present case, the petitioner seeks bail in connection with Rupaspur P.S. Case No. 275 of 2025, registered for the offences under Sections 352, 351 (3), 85, 109, 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Sections 3, 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and Section 80(2) of the B.N.S. which was added later on.
3. As per the prosecution case, the daughter of the informant had married with the petitioner in the year 2022 and allegation is that the petitioner had been demanding Rs. 3 lakhs and a gold chain and the further allegation is that on nonfulfillment of the demand, the petitioner hanged the daughter of the informant and she died during her treatment in the hospital.
4. Learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70392 of 2025(2) dt.09-10-2025 2/3 petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. From the FIR, it is clear that the daughter of the informant was taken to the hospital by this petitioner and if the petitioner was guilty of making attempt to kill his wife he would not have called the informant and his in-laws to the hospital. The informant made the complaint with the police without ascertaining the facts and as the petitioner has been arrested from the hospital, for lack of treatment his wife died. There are two children from the marriage of the petitioner with the deceased and there is no complaint of earlier making any demand from the informant or any other person by the petitioner.
Learned senior counsel further submits that from the FIR it also appears that the informant has alleged that the petitioner has been in illicit relationship with some other girl and perhaps for this reason the wife of the petitioner tried to commit suicide and she expired during her treatment. Learned senior counsel further submits that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent and is in custody since 19.04.2025. The charge-sheet has been submitted.
5. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner.
6. Having regard to the fact and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties and considering the doubtful nature of accusation and further considering the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70392 of 2025(2) dt.09-10-2025 3/3 submission of charge-sheet, clean antecedent of the petitioner and period of custody, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge - II, Danapur, Patna in connection with Rupaspur P.S.
