The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Goroul P.S. Case No. 92 of 2016 registered under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner along with other accused persons is said to have committed murder of his wife by assaulting her with sharp edged weapon over some family dispute.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. As a matter of fact, the deceased had gone to maize field for defecation and she was eliminated by some unknown miscreants and on hulla when the petitioner rushed there, he was also assaulted by them

On the other hand, it is submitted by learned APP for the State that daughter of the deceased namely, Sweta Kumari happens to be eye witness of the occurrence and she has candidly stated about committing murder of the deceased by the petitioner by means of dagger. The doctor has also found incised wound on the chest of the deceased and rib of the deceased fractured due to penetrating weapon.

In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer is rejected.

However, the learned lower court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible preferably within nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
