The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code in connection with Azamnagar P.S. Case No. 222/2016. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no specific allegation against the petitioner. He has falsely been implicated in this case.

Heard learned Additional Public Prosecutor also. He opposed the prayer of bail and stated that asphyxia is result of throttling.

Considering the fact that the petitioner has remained in custody for one year, the trial court is directed to expedite the commitment of the case and try to conclude the trial within a period of nine months.

At the same time, S.P., Katihar is also directed to ensure the attendance of the witnesses so that the trial may be concluded within the stipulated period.
