The petitioner seeks bail in Malsalami P.S. Case No. 260/2018 instituted for the offences under Sections 304B, 302, 228 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The earlier bail application of the petitioner was rejected vide Annexure-2 to the present application taking into account that the petitioner is husband of the deceased and the offence is related to dowry death.

A report was called for from the Trial Court. It has been reported that out of 9 prosecution witnesses, 5 prosecution witnesses have already been examined and the trial is likely to be concluded within a period of three months. On behalf of the State, it is submitted that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40601 of 2020(3) dt.24-03-2021 2/2 petitioner is named in the F.I.R.

Considering the nature of accusation and the stage of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial at earliest preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

The District Magistrate, Patna and the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna are also directed to take necessary steps to produce the remaining witnesses on the date fixed in the Trial Court so that the trial could be concluded within the stipulated period.

Let this order be communicated to the District Magistrate, Patna and the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna.
