Versus
1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Kamal Kishore Jha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. S.M.Rahman(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 29-06-2016 Heard both sides.
The petitioner seeks bail in a case under Section 302 and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.
The prayer of petitioner for bail was earlier rejected by this court vided order dated 23.06.2015 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 18106 of 2015 with a direction to the trail court to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months but the same has not yet been concluded.
A report was called from the trial court. The learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Munger has reported that learned Additional Sessions Judge-II superannuated and thereafter the case was transferred to learned Additional Sessions Judge-III, Munger. The deceased herself made statement on the basis of
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.1960 of 2016 (3) dt.29-06-2016 2/2 which the FIR was lodged in which she stated that it was the petitioner who burnt her and thereafter the victim died. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and hold the trial on day to day basis and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order as the petitioner is in jail for three years. If the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail firstly before the trial court.
