Criminal Miscellaneous No.23765 of 2015 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -106 Year- 2014 Thana -BIND District- NALANDA (BIHARSHARIFF) ======================================================

1. Sharavan Ram Son of Doman Ram @ Bijendra Ram resident of village - Jamsari, P.S. Bind, District - Nalanda .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Krishna Chandra For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Dr. Ajit Kumar(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 24-09-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case under Section 304B, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. The mother of the deceased made allegation that she had gone to the house of her daughter to settle the dispute but her husband and other in-laws demanded different articles. The Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat sorted out the dispute but she could not get any paper. In the night her daughter was killed. The informant got information that her daughter set her ablaze due to torture given by the petitioner and others. Father of the deceased also made same and similar allegation.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.23765 of 2015 (3) dt.24-09-2015 2/2 Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur, the learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the villagers in paragraph 33 and onwards of the case diary stated that they heard that wife of the petitioner set her ablaze and went there and saw Shrawan Kumar and other family members putting off fire. The family members brought Puja Kumari to hospital but she could not survive. It appears that there is specific allegation against the petitioner, husband of the deceased, that he subjected his wife to torture and on account of such his wife was driven to commit suicide by setting her ablaze.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and hold the trail on day to day basis and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt of this order. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J) BKS/- U T
