Mr.Shailendra Kumar No. 1 (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-07-2021 This matter has been taken up for hearing online because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for grant of regular bail arises out of Barharia Case No. 148 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Section 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner's prayer for grant of regular bail was earlier rejected by this Court by an order dated 17.03.2020 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 77756 of 2019.

Learned counsel for the petitioner, who is the husband of the deceased, has submitted that the postmortem report suggests that it is not a case of killing but suicide by the victim. He has further submitted that the petitioner has remained in

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.13677 of 2021(2) dt.28-07-2021 2/2 custody since 03.06.2019 and, therefore, now a lenient view will be taken for the purpose of considering the petitioner's prayer for his release on bail.

The petitioner's application for regular bail was earlier rejected by this Court upon considering the grave nature of accusation.

I do not find any new material for this Court to entertain this application renewing the prayer for bail. This application is accordingly rejected.

The petitioner shall, however, be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if in the meanwhile, there is no substantial progress at the trail.

It is expected that the Court below shall make endeavour to expedite conclusion of trial.
