Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7735 of 2021(3) dt.03-09-2021 2/2 mentioned in para 3 of the bail petition.

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail petition and submits that the petitioner is husband of the deceased.

I perused the record including the case diary, the petitioner is involved in this case and he is husband of the deceased.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected in connection with Sessions Trial No. 251/2019 arising out of Mahanar P.S. Case No. 158/2011 from the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-VII, Vaishali at Hajipur. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner.
