As per the prosecution case, on 19th November, 2018, all the named accused after verbally abusing the informant (deceased) due to land dispute later poured kerosene oil and set her on fire. She was rushed to the hospital where she lodged this FIR and later succumbed to her injury.

Although the petitioner is the named accused, the matter dates back to 2018, the anticipatory bail preferred by him

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.53345 of 2021(2) dt.06-04-2022 2/2 vide Cr. Misc. No. 11900 of 2019 was rejected on 27.02.2019 with the direction to surrender and make prayer for regular bail, he choose to finally come within the judicial custody only on 28.06.2021.

Considering the fact that he is named accused, evaded arrest for long and has finally been taken into the judicial custody, I am not inclined to grant any relief to him and the prayer for bail is accordingly, rejected.

The trial Court is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously.
