Mr. Md. Mushtaque Alam ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHANDRA PRAKASH SINGH ORAL ORDER 24-05-2023 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to remove defect (s), as pointed out by the office, if any, within a period of four weeks on resumption of physical mode.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner has preferred this application for grant of regular bail in connection with Gobindganj P.S. Case No. 466 of 2022 dated 13.09.2022 registered for the offences punishable u/s 304(B) read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code Act. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner and the other co-accused persons are alleged to have committed murder of the informant's daughter due to non-fulfillment of the demand of a motorcycle and golden chain as dowry.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26110 of 2023(2) dt.24-05-2023 2/2 petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel has submitted that the deceased herself committed suicide. The petitioner has got clean antecedent as stated in para 3 of the bail petition. The petitioner is in custody since 05.12.2022. Learned counsel for the Informant as well as learned APP for the state State has vehemently opposed the bail petition of the petitioner by submitting that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased. The petitioner solemnized the marriage with the petitioner on 20.05.2022 and she was killed within a short period of about more than three months. It is submitted that the petitioner is solely responsible for the alleged crime.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at the earliest.

The application stands rejected.
