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 connection with Lalganj P.S.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9303 of 2021(2) dt.25-06-2021 2/2 present at the time of occurrence. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent and has been languishing in custody since 02.11.2020.

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the bail petition stating that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased who threatened informant's daughter and killed her due to non-fulfillment of dowry demand.

In the facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the bail prayer of the petitioner is hereby dismissed.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial. (Anjani Kumar Sharan, J) GAURAV S./- U T
