The State of Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Uday Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Pranav Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL ORDER 09-01-2023 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.226 of 2021 arising out of Jagdishpur P.S. Case No.184 of 2021 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 304B, 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The learned counsel for the petitioner after making submissions in support of the bail application, fairly submits that only official witnesses remain to be examined. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. It is submitted that in view of the ingredients in the allegation made, giving rise to a case under Section 304B of the I.P.C., this Court, considering the fact that the petitioner is husband of the deceased having prime responsibility, should not

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.50450 of 2022(2) dt.09-01-2023 2/2 grant the petitioner privilege of bail.

Considering the rival submissions, advanced stage of trial, the presumption arising in law and the fact that the petitioner is husband, this Court for the purposes of grant of bail is inclined to accept the submissions advanced by the learned APP for the State. Prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. The petitioner's custody is stated to be since 20.05.2021. The Court therefore would observe that all endeavours should be made by the trial Court to conclude the trial expeditiously without any unnecessary adjournments or undue delay.

The application is dismissed.
