Let the defect(s) be removed within two weeks of the complete start of the physical Court in normal course. Petitioner, who is in custody since 28.04.2021, seeks regular bail in connection with Goh P.S. Case No. 53 of 2021 registered for offences punishable under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
Prosecution case, in brief, is that petitioner has made physical relations with the informant on the pretext of marriage. Petitioner had also promised that when she will complete the age of 18 years then he will solemnize marriage with her. It is further alleged that after completing the age of 18 years, the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42913 of 2021(4) dt.09-03-2022 2/2 petitioner refused to marry with the informant and deleted the entire messages of informant's mobile by threatening her with pistol and also demanded Rs. 600000/- and a motorcycle as dowry.
Considering the serious nature of allegation made against the petitioner and without going into the merits of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage.
The trial Court is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously well within a period of six months. If no substantial progress takes place in conduct of trial, the petitioner, if so advised, may renew his prayer for bail after the aforesaid period.
