Versus

.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Virendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Veena Kumari Jaiswal ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL ORDER 22-03-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is that being husband of the victim, he assaulted her with intention to kill her, as a result of which, she died.

Earlier the bail application of the petitioner was rejected vide Annexure-1 to the present application with a direction to the court below to conclude the trial preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of copy of the order. This is fourth attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5842 of 2017 (3) dt.22-03-2017 2/2 A report was called for from the Trial Court regarding stage of the case. It has been reported that the evidence has already been closed and the case is at the argument stage. It is expected that the trial will be concluded within a period of four months, if both prosecution and the defence co-operate the court during trial.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the stage of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected in S.T. No. 311 of 2012, arising out of Riga P.S. Case No. 33 of 2012, pending in the court of learned Additional District Judge-I, Sitamarhi. The Trial Court is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of the copy of this order. It is expected that the prosecution and the defence both shall co-operate the court during the trial.
