APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 25-02-2021 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in Forbesganj P.S. Case No.485 of 2020 registered under Sections 304B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The mother of the deceased alleged that petitioner solemnised love marriage with her daughter in the year 2017. Thereafter, the petitioner was not doing any work and he was always quarreling with her daughter. She further alleged that petitioner is a drug addict and even on the date of occurrence, the informant gave Rs.15,000/- to her daughter and for that the petitioner might have quarreled compelling her daughter to commit suicide.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that wife of the petitioner committed suicide. The post-mortem

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34448 of 2020(3) dt.25-02-2021 2/2 report also shows that deceased committed suicide. There is no other external injury save and except ligature on the neck of the deceased but it appears that petitioner was quarreling with his wife. He is a drug addict and the petitioner always picked quarrel with his wife compelling her to commit suicide. Taking into consideration the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

The trial court is directed to hold the trial on day to day basis and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt of the order.

If the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
