JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 06-08-2015 Heard both sides The petitioner seeks bail in a case under Section 302 and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant alleged that he married his daughter with the petitioner but the petitioner was in the habit of torturing his wife and ultimately killed her and concealed her dead body. The informant with his brother came to Village Basudeopur where his daughter was found dead. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the course of investigation, most of the witnesses have stated that the deceased fell ill and she died while she was under treatment. The witnesses in Paras 41, 42, 43 of the case diary disclosed that some verbal altercations took place between the husband and the wife for plastering of a wall and the petitioner is said to have slapped his wife and his wife consumed

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.12426 of 2015 (7) dt.06-08-2015 2/2 poison. The police, after investigation, submitted chargesheet under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.

Having considered the facts that the petitioner assaulted his wife and she was driven to commit suicide and the dead body of the deceased was hurriedly cremated, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage in Begusarai Mufassil P.S. Case No. 335 of 2014. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt / production of this order. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail firstly in the trial court itself.
