The petitioner seeks bail in Harnaut(Kalyanbigha O.P.) P.S. Case No.319 of 2019 registered under Sections 302, 201 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.

The father of the deceased simply alleged that his daughter was married with the petitioner twelve years ago and his daughter got one son and one daughter respectively but on 05.08.2019, the informant got information about missing of his daughter. During the course of search, the informant came to know about the absence of the petitioner from his house. The informant came to know that his son-in-law was having illicit relation with a lady residing in his neighbour and on account of such, his son-in-law was always assaulting his daughter whenever she protested.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78533 of 2019(6) dt.23-06-2020 2/2 The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no eye witness of the occurrence. Nandu Tanti(the petitioner) was apprehended on 10.08.2019. The petitioner is said to have confessed his guilt and on the basis of his disclosure, the highly decomposed dead body of his wife was exhumed. Although viscera and other things preserved for F.S.L. examination show that deceased was strangulated by some hard blunt object. Petitioner is in jail since 10.08.2019 and there is no eye witness of the occurrence. Nobody has seen the petitioner killing his wife but I find that there was none in the house of the petitioner. His wife was missing.

The petitioner after being arrested disclosed that he killed his wife and put him in the graveyard, on such, the dead body of the wife of the petitioner was exhumed after 6-8 days of her killing. The doctor in the post-mortem report very clearly found the cause of death on account of strangulation by hard and blunt object. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
