The petitioner is languishing in custody since 29.08.2018 in a case for the offence registered under Sections 304(B)/34 of the IPC.
The prosecution story, in brief, is that the accused persons including the petitioner killed the victim due to nonfulfilment of demand of dowry. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. Charge sheet has been submitted in the present case. There is no allegation of tampering with the witnesses alleged against the petitioner. The petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. There is no substantive evidence to suggest the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24799 of 2019(4) dt.19-06-2019 2/2 implication of the petitioner in the present case. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased.
On behalf of the learned counsel for the State, it has been submitted that the petitioner is named in the F.I.R. The onus is on him to explain the cause of death of the deceased. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected in connection with Jhajha P.S. Case No. 25/2018, pending in the court of learned S.D.J.M., Jamui. The court below is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order.
