====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 07-04-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State through virtual court proceeding. Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects within four weeks of resumption of normal court proceeding. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within undertaken period, the office will place the matter before the Bench.

The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Petitioner in association of his family members are said to have killed the daughter of the informant by hanging her on non fulfillment of dowry demand.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.1466 of 2021(3) dt.07-04-2021 2/2 petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. He submits that neither the petitioner had made any demand of dowry nor he had committed any torture or cruelty against the deceased. He submits that informant's daughter was a lady of short temperament and she was suffering from several ailment and probably on account of depression she had committed suicide. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in custody since 09.07.2020.

Learned APP for the State opposed the bail petition. Considering the facts that petitioner is the husband of the deceased, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected in connection with Maintand P.S. Case No. 94 of 2020 pending before the learned court below where the case is pending. However, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner.
