IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.34568 of 2014 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -232 Year- 2013 Thana -DALSINGHSARAI District- SAMASTIPUR ====================================================== Ram Parman Mahto S/o Munshi Mahto Resident of Village Bulakipur Kamraon, Police Station Dalsingsarai, District Samastipur. .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Zeyaul Hoda, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Harendra Pd.(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 15-01-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in Dalsingsarai P.S. Case No. 232 of 2013, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant made allegation that the petitioner killed the daughter and grand daughter of the informant. The petitioner is the husband of Meena Devi.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the story is quite improbable, a father cannot kill his own daughter. It has come during the course of investigation that there was some quarrel between husband and wife and the wife herself consumed poison.

On perusal of the records, it appears that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.34568 of 2014 (3) dt.15-01-2015 informant made very specific allegation that the petitioner was always torturing his wife due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and the wife and the daughter of the petitioner died in a mysterious condition in the house of the petitioner. The trial has already begun.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I do not find the case fit for grant of bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, if the trial is not concluded the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail firstly before the court below.
