CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER
4 04-12-2019 Heard both sides.
The petitioner seeks bail in Mainatar P.S. case No. 133/2018 registered under Section 304B of the IPC.
The father of the deceased alleged that on 16.11.2018
he got information from elder brother-in-law of his daughter that his daughter was burnt to death. When the informant, after having received such information, went to the house of his daughter he found his daughter lying dead. Blood was oozing out from both the nostrils. After observing the dead body the informant disclosed that his daughter was throttled to death and thereafter her body was burnt. The informant further disclosed that husband and other in-laws were demanding motor cycle and due to non fulfillment of demand of motor cycle his daughter was done to death.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.57613 of 2019(4) dt.04-12-2019 2/2
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased died after five years of her marriage. In fact the deceased got burn injuries while cooking. The brother of the petitioner is said to have informed the informant that the deceased was burnt to death but there is no smell of kerosene oil nor any carbon particle was found inside the nostril or lung. It is submitted that two child are living without any care of father or mother and the wife of petitioner died unnatural death in an accident but from perusal of the post mortem report, it appears that the deceased was burnt after she was killed by throttling and this fact itself corroborates the allegation that petitioner firstly killed his wife and thereafter tried to burn the dead body inside the house.
Taking into consideration the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
