For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ravindra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ajit Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 20-01-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State.

The petitioner is in custody since 16.09.2015 in connection Dhangai P.S. Case No. 32 of 2015, registered for offences punishable under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that petitioner was working as driver and on the alleged date of occurrence, he was not present at his house, however, since he happens to be husband of the deceased, he has been falsely implicated in the present case as such the deceased died due to abdominal pain and the informant himself has cremated the body of the deceased. The petitioner has been languishing in judicial custody since 16.09.2015.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.47237 of 2016 (3) dt.20-01-2017 2/2 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the witnesses during the course of investigation have also supported the case of the prosecution.

Having heard both sides, in view of the fact that there are allegations against the petitioner, which has also been supported by several witnesses during the course of investigation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, it is accordingly rejected. However, since the petitioner has been in jail for about 16 months, learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it as soon as possible.
