This is an application for bail in connection with Sonepur P.S.Case No. 47 of 2015 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A and 354/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation as per FIR against the petitioner is torture and cruelty and further allegation is that petitioner sent bad messages on the mobile of mother of informant and also uploaded porn pictures on the e-mail I.D of the informant. It further appears that petitioner was earlier granted provisional bail by the court below and he could not surrender after expiry of the period of provisional bail and later on he has been arrested in connection with other case and from that case he has been remanded in this

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.22983 of 2017 (2) dt.15-05-2017 2/2 case on 10.3.2017.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no mistake on the part of the petitioner and he was in custody in connection with other case, as such, he could not appear after the period of provisional bail was over and he is ready to abide by any condition if bail is granted to him. Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and in view of the allegation and also the conduct of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude the same within a period of nine months. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
