24-06-2021 Heard learned counsel for the parties through video conferencing.

The petitioner seeks bail in Sessions Trial No. 626 of 2018, arising out of Pirpainti P.S. Case No. 100 of 2018, registered for the offence under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, sister of the informant was married with this petitioner in the year 2015 and thereafter, it is alleged that this petitioner demanded Rs. one lakh and a motorcycle, as dowry, and due to non-fulfillment of the same, the deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment by the petitioner, and lastly on 30.04.2018, she was done to death. It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that petitioner is husband of the deceased and he is in custody since 01.05.2018.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8066 of 2021(3) dt.24-06-2021 2/2 Charge has already been framed against the petitioner in the year 2018, but thereafter, no progress has been made in the case and till date, the case is running for evidence. However, learned A.P.P. for the State opposed the bail petition and submitted that there is specific allegation against petitioner of dowry demand and due to non-fulfillment of the same, this petitioner assaulted the deceased by lathi, danda, as a result of which, she died. Post-mortem report also supports the prosecution case and multiple injuries have been found on the person of the deceased.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and same is, accordingly, rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial as early as possible. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J.) anay U T
