Phuljhariya Devi vs The State Of Bihar on 15 July, 2008

              IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                     Cr.Misc. No.17678 of 2008
                          PHULJHARIYA DEVI
                               Versus
                         THE STATE OF BIHAR
                            -----------

3 15.7.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the

counsel appearing on behalf of the State.

The petitioner is an accused in a case under Section

302 of the Indian Penal Code. The First Information Report was

lodged under Section 498(A) and 306 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

during investigation the witnesses have stated that the deceased

had committed suicide. The post mortem report however,

indicates that she was killed by strangulation.

The petitioner is in custody since 20.2.2008.

Considering the short period of custody I am not

inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present.

    Sanjay/                                                     (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
