On behalf of the learned counsels for the informant and the State it has been submitted that the petitioner is named in the F.I.R. He is the husband of the deceased and the specific allegation is against him.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected in Bikramganj P.S.

Anyhow, the Trial Court is directed to take all necessary steps to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order.
