4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the nature of allegation is general and omnibus. It has further been submitted that during course of trial, two witnesses have been examined and they have turned hostile.
5. Countering this, learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer of regular bail and has submitted that from perusal of the post-mortem report it is clear that deceased has received four lacerated wounds and the Doctor conducting autopsy of the deceased has opined that in our opinion the cause of death is due to hemorrhage and shock as a result of above mentioned injuries.
6. From the post-mortem report it is clear that the deceased was assaulted brutally due to which she has died. Since the petitioner is the husband of the deceased, main thrust of allegation is against him. A report was called for from the learned trial court regarding stage of trial and learned trial court has recorded that out of 12 witnesses altogether 6 witnesses have been examined and that the trial is likely to be concluded within six months.
7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, however, the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12543 of 2026(3) dt.09-04-2026 3/3 petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after six months, if the trial is not concluded. Learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
