1. Mritunjay Dev Saket, Son of Anil Kumar, Resident of village - Bibhishan Kutir, Kanti Factory Road, Opposite Shivan Vihar Apartment, P.S. Patrakar Nagar, District - Patna .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Yogesh Chandra Verma, Sr. Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Ashok Kumar Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 13-04-2017 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Patrakar Nagar P.S. Case No. 214 of 2016, registered for offences punishable under Sections 304B, 120B and 34 of Indian Penal Code.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the case is under Section 304B and other Sections of Indian Penal Code and petitioner is husband and though there is allegation against the petitioner of making demand of dowry and torture and the dead body of the deceased was found in decomposed position in his house, however, petitioner has nothing to do with the alleged offence as he was not present in the town and he came to know about the incident only when he came back and thereafter informed the informant, for which the informant in collusion with

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17156 of 2017 (2) dt.13-04-2017 2/2 the police has filed the present false case. Further there is nothing on record to substantiate the fact of demand of dowry and torture. Petitioner has been in judicial custody since 20.07.2016. Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail. Having heard both sides, in view of the fact that the petitioner is husband and the dead body of the deceased was found in decomposed position in the house of the petitioner, as such, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner the privilege of regular bail, it is accordingly rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it as early as possible.
