Case diary has been received.
In case diary there is no any evidence that this petitioner had informed the informant about the death of the deceased and her family members had refused to participate in the cremation of the deceased.
From case diary, it appears that deceased died in her Sasural in suspicious circumstances and her dead body had been disposed off without intimation to the informant. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, prayer for bail of petitioner is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and make efforts to conclude the same as early as possible preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt of this order. Petitioner will be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail after nine months in the event no substantive progress is made in trial.
