Petitioner who is in custody seeks bail in connection with Dagarua P.S. Case No. 22 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Informant is the brother of deceased, who in his F.I.R has alleged that his sister was married to petitioner but after marriage they started demanding dowry and nonfulfillment of which they started torturing her. It is further alleged that she was brutally assaulted and killed by strangulation. In the postmortem report also injuries on the body of deceased have been found and ligature mark around neck has been found and the cause of death is asphyxia.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.45967 of 2019(3) dt.27-09-2019 2/2 It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. Petitioner is husband of the deceased and is in custody since 21.02.2019.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite and conclude trial within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. However, if the trial is not concluded within one year, petitioner may renew his prayer for grant of bail.
