Mr.Suredra Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 22-10-2021 Heard the parties through virtual court proceedings.. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Bikram P.S. Case No.201 of 2018, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 304(B), 201, 328 and 34 of the IPC. The prosecution case in short is that daughter of the informant has been killed by the petitioner (husband of the deceased) and other named accused persons by poisoning. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is quite innocent and has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. He has been falsely implicated in this case due to oblique reasons. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased. There is general and omnibus allegation against all the accused persons including this petitioner. On perusal of the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18432 of 2021(3) dt.22-10-2021 2/2 FIR, it is clear that no demand has been made by the accused persons and also very vague allegation has been made that five years ago marriage has taken place. The petitioner has one criminal antecedent and has been languishing in custody since 16.09.2020.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that there is ample evidence against the petitioner in the case diary and petitioner being the husband of the deceased has a role in the death of his wife.

Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner named above. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner made through the instant bail application is hereby rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. (Anjani Kumar Sharan, J) pallavi/- U T
