Petitioner is husband of the deceased.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is delay of 11 days in lodging FIR, which creates suspicion about the prosecution case. Further submission is that earlier compromise was made between the parties and the deceased was sent to her matrimonial house and she died in natural death and he is in custody since 3.8.2016.

Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail stating that petitioner is husband and deceased died due to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18111 of 2017 (4) dt.19-07-2017 2/2 unnatural circumstance.

Having heard both sides and considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

As the petitioner is in custody for 11 months, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude it within nine months and at the same time Superintendent of Police, East Champaran is directed to ensure the presence of witnesses in court on the date fixed, so that trial be concluded within the said period.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed.
