For the Petitioner/s : Mr.

For the Opposite Party/s : Mr.

====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 09-01-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks regular bail in Sahebganj P.S. Case No. 146 of 2012 under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant made allegation that on account of non-fulfillment of demand of dowry, his daughter was burnt to death within one year of her marriage.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on account of some confusion the case has been lodged, but the informant later on filed a petition denying the death of his daughter on account of non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. It appears that the victim died within one year of her marriage due to burn injury and the informant made a very specific allegation against the petitioner, husband.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.680 of 2015 (2) dt.09-01-2015 2/2 Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in Sahebganj P.S. Case No. 146 of 2012, pending before the learned S.D.J.M. (West), Muzaffarpur. Accordingly bail petition is rejected. The Learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (West), Muzaffarpur is directed to commit the case forthwith to the Court of Sessions, and on commitment of the case, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within one year from the date of receipt / production of this order. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid stipulated period, the petitioner may renew the prayer for bail thereafter.
