The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Samir Kumar Sinha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Smt. Asha Kumari ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 20-06-2017 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in Deepnagar P.S. Case No.221 of 2016 registered for the offences punishable under Section 302 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. The mother of the deceased made allegation that his daughter was killed by her husband and others as they were always torturing her daughter.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the course of investigation the police did not take the statement of any of the eye witness. There is no evidence against the petitioner, but it appears that the police after taking the statement of the petitioner who voluntarily disclosed before the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.21781 of 2017 (3) dt.20-06-2017 police in his statement that it was he who killed his sister-in-law and thereafter police submitted final form against all other accused persons finding the case false.

Considering the fact that it was the petitioner who himself stated before the police that it was he who killed his sisterin-law, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Deepnagar P.S. Case No.221 of 2016 pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Biharsharif, Nalanda is rejected. The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period of nine months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
