The petitioner seeks bail in Dulhin Bazar P.S. Case No. 94 of 2010, registered for the offences punishable under Section 304B and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. The father of the deceased made allegation that the petitioner being the husband of the deceased and other in-laws of the deceased killed his daughter Babita Kumari and disposed of her dead body due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. It is submitted that the petitioner is, of course, the husband, but same and similar allegation is made against the other in-laws and they have already been enlarged on bail. The petitioner being the husband is in jail since 24.06.2014 and the trial has not yet been commenced.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.8429 of 2015 (4) dt.01-07-2015 2/2 It appears that the dead body of the deceased was not traced out and the petitioner is husband of the deceased. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above named on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within nine months, if the trial is not concluded the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J.) KKSINHA/- U T
