Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Satya Prakash For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ram Naresh Roy (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 10-09-2015 Mr. Vindhyachal Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, as prayed for, is permitted to make necessary correction with regard to the custody of the petitioner in his bail application.

Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Wife of the petitioner died within five years of marriage on account of burn injury. The informant made allegation that the petitioner and others were torturing her. Mother-in-law has already been granted bail.

It is submitted that the petitioner voluntarily surrendered in the court below on 22.07.2013. The petitioner is in jail for more than two years and he has got two minor children to look after.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.22328 of 2015 (3) dt.10-09-2015 Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 54 of 2014 arising out of Rasulpur P.S. Case no. 30 of 2013 pending in the court of the learned 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected.

Since the petitioner is in jail for more than two years, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial is not concluded within the time aforesaid, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail firstly in the trial court.

The Superintendent of Police, Saran at Chapra is directed to ensure attendance of all the witnesses of the aforesaid case on the date fixed so that the trial of the petitioner must conclude within six months.

Let a copy of this order be also communicated to the Superintendent of Police, Saran at Chapra forthwith for needful.
