For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjiv Sharan For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Harendra Prasad ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 27-07-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Shahpur P.S.Case No.118 of 2016, for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A) and 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is husband and allegation is of causing death of his wife. Earlier a case was filed under Section 304B & 498A of the Indian Penal Code but later on it was converted into Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code,.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that both the sisters were married with the husband and his brother respectively and properties are in the name of the deceased. The allegation of causing death of his wife does not appear to be true.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.28450 of 2017 (4) dt.27-07-2017 2/2 Further, the petitioner is in custody for five months. Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides and from the impugned order it appears that death is due to strangulation. In such view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner.

With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
