The petitioner is languishing in custody since 22.01.2016 in connection with Bidupur P.S. Case No. 01 of 2014 for the offences instituted under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC. The prosecution story, in brief, is that the informant's daughter Danwanti Devi was married with petitioner Indrajeet Rai about 25 years ago. It is further alleged that the informant's daughter demanded Rs. 50,000/- from the informant which was given to her and again one month before when the informant demanded money from his daughter, his daughter told that she will told about this to her husband namely, Indrajeet Rai. It is alleged that due to demand for return the money all the accused persons

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17478 of 2016 (3) dt.24-05-2016 2/2 including petitioner named in the FIR committed murder of informant's daughter and concealed her dead body. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. The petitioner is in custody since 22.01.2016 and the charge sheet has been submitted in the present case. The petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. There is no substantive piece of evidence to suggest the implication of the petitioner in the present case. On behalf of the State it has been submitted that the petitioner is named in the F.I.R. and he is the husband of the deceased and there are sufficient materials in the case diary to suggest his implication in the present case.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected in Bidupur P. S. Case No. 01/2014, pending in the court of the learned C.J.M. Vaishali at Hajipur. The court below is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order.
