Petitioner is languishing in custody in connection with Jandaha P.S. Case No. 64 of 2015 (S.T. No.117 of 2016) for the offences punishable under Sections 498A/364/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the D.P. Act pending in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge-VI, Vaishali.

The petitioner is husband of the victim girl Guddi Kumari. Guddi Kumari was married with the petitioner in the year 2010. Allegation is that the petitioner committed murder of Guddi Kumari for non-fulfilment of the dowry demand and disposed of the dead body.

Submission of the petitioner is that petitioner is in custody since 23.11.2015. Charge has already been framed in

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.2753 of 2017 (3) dt.15-03-2017 2/2 this case. However, no prosecution witness is examined up till now.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The bail prayer of the petitioner is refused at this stage. If the trial is not concluded within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the petitioner may renew the prayer for bail. The learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and in no circumstance unnecessary adjournment be allowed in this case since the petitioner is in custody for more than one year.
