Diary in the present case was called for, which has since been received.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that actually the deceased was suffering from depression and it is because of the said reason that she herself committed suicide. It
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.19076 of 2018 (3) dt.02-05-2018 2/2 is further submitted that the informant has duly participated in the cremation proceedings and thereafter as an afterthought, on mere rumours, he filed the present case.
In view of the fact that there was also demand of dowry and the death had taken place within seven years of marriage, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. It is, accordingly, dismissed.
The trial in the present case may, however, be expedited and concluded, preferably within a period of one year from the date of communication of a copy of this order. (Anjana Mishra, J) PNM U T
