It has further been submitted that on the date of occurrence, deceased had called her brother to take her to her maike however, he scolded her and refused to take her to her maike which caused annoyance to the deceased and she committed suicide. Petitioner has been in judicial custody for last ten months.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.34923 of 2017 (2) dt.04-08-2017 Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides, in view of the fact that witness in the several paragraphs of case diary have stated about demand of dowry, which is mentioned in the impugned order, as such, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, his application for regular bail is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it as soon as possible preferably within a period of nine months.
