Mrs. Meena Singh (A.P.P) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 09-11-2020 Heard Mr. Rajesh Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Mina Singh, learned counsel appearing for the State through video conferencing.

Petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Gogari P.S. Case No. 34 of 2019, G.R. No. 343 of 2019 registered for the offence under Section 302 / 201 / 120(B) of the I.P.C.

The allegation as per the First Information Report is that on 10.02.2019 the informant got information on his mobile that his son was murdered by unknown persons and his dead body was lying near the house of Mangal Das.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has only been implicated in this case on the basis of

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.23083 of 2020(5) dt.09-11-2020 2/2 suspicion. Learned counsel further submits that Police during the course of investigation has found that the deceased was having conversation with one Ritika Bharti and Renu Devi, who are the sister- in- laws of the petitioner.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State referring to the case diary submits that during the course of investigation it has come to light in paragraph nos. 26 & 83 that the deceased was having illicit relation with the wife of the petitioner and the deceased was caught red handed along with the wife of the petitioner in his house due to which the petitioner has killed the deceased with the help of his associates. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the materials available on record, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for regular bail after one year from today, if the trial does not show any progress.
