Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ajay Nandan Sahay For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Sanjay Kumar Sharma ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 08-08-2017 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Bhabhua P.S. Case No. 113 of 2017, registered for offences punishable under Sections 304(B), 201/34 of Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is husband and allegation against him is of causing dowry death of the deceased.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been implicated in this case and in fact the deceased was suffering from neurological disorder, for which the petitioner used to get her treated and she died as she had fell down from the stair case and the petitioner took her to hospital also but during the course of treatment she died. Further petitioner has been judicial custody for last three and half months.

Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.33889 of 2017 (4) dt.08-08-2017 on the ground that there is allegation against the petitioner of demand of dowry and further deceased died within two years of her marriage.

Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation, at present, 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 early as possible, preferably within a period of nine months.
