Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.4729 of 2023(2) dt.28-04-2023 2/2 station on the same day. Due to mental trauma and agony, he furnished his fardbeyan on 05.11.2021.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. There is no explanation of delay in lodging of the FIR. The occurrence had taken place on 21.10.2021 but the FIR was registered on 05.11.2022.

The victim died within six months of her marriage in her matrimonial house. There is allegation that the petitioner, who is husband and other matrimonial inmates committed dowry death. So far as delay in lodging of the FIR is concerned, that has been explained in the fardbeyan itself. In my view, the petitioner does not deserve the privileges of bail, which is hereby rejected. The learned court below shall take every endeavor to dispose of the trial, preferably within a period of nine months. (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) Kundan/Nirmal U T
