The application is for grant of bail for the offence under Sections 304B of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that though there is allegation against the petitioner under Section 304B IPC but statement of victim was recorded in which she has stated that her mother-in-law burnt her. It is further submitted that petitioner is her husband and he is in custody since 17.09.2014. It is further submitted that charge has been framed against the petitioner including the petitioner.

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides. Considering the fact that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.666 of 2017 (2) dt.12-01-2017 2/2 in F.I.R., allegation is against the petitioner and there are other materials also available on record against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. As such, his prayer for bail rejected at this stage. However, lower court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within 09 months. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the learned court below.

With these observations, this bail application is disposed of.
