For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Satish Chandra, Adv.

For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Shailendra Kumar Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 11-08-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State via video conferencing. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail in connection with Bikram P.S. Case No. 281 of 2018 registered inter alia under Sections 302 and 304B of the Indian Penal Code. His prayer for bail was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 20.11.2019 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 40367 of 2019. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that after rejection of the prayer for bail of the petitioner, there is no progress in the trial.

Be that as it may, considering the allegation made against the petitioner that he killed his wife by setting her on fire within five months of her marriage and hurriedly buried her body in a nearby field, I am not inclined to grant him bail. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35160 of 2020(3) dt.11-08-2021 2/2 prayer for bail is rejected once again.
