The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Teghra P.S. Case No. 135 of 2024 instituted for the offence under Sections 304(B) & 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Prosecution case in short is that sister of the informant was done to death at her matrimonial house by her in- laws due to non-fulfillment of the demand of dowry. 4. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody since 21-05-2024. Petitioner bears no criminal antecedent, as per disclosure made in paragraph No. 3 of the bail application. 5. It has been further submitted by the petitioner’s Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78245 of 2024(3) dt.28-01-2025 2/3 counsel that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased and has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. In fact, petitioner was not present at the time of the occurrence. There is no eye- witness to the occurrence. The deceased herself has committed suicide. There is no specific allegation attributed to the petitioner, rather allegation is general and omnibus in nature. It is lastly submitted that charge sheet has been submitted in this case. 6. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner. It is contended by referring to paragraph No. 30 of the case diary, that doctor has opined the cause of death due to asphyxia as a result of hanging. It is next submitted that FSL team has collected the blood soaked soil and broken pieces of bangles from the place of occurrence, which suggests that some scuffle has taken place prior to the incident. 7. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, period of custody of the petitioner, there being no cogent material against the petitioner and charge sheet being submitted, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. 8. Let the petitioner be released on bail on Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.78245 of 2024(3) dt.28-01-2025 3/3 furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Court below/concerned Court in connection with Teghra P.S.
