For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Bishwa Bijay Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Sanjay Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 23-06-2017 Heard the parties.
This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Patliputra P.S.Case No.256 of 2016 for the offences under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The petitioner is husband and the allegation against him is of death of his wife. The case is made out under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the post mortem report also shows that she died due to hanging except that there is no any other injury on the person of the deceased. There is no any specific allegation against the petitioner. Heard learned A.P.P. and the learned counsel for the informant. The learned counsel for the informant has submitted
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.24796 of 2017 (3) dt.23-06-2017 2/2 that that an informatory petition was filed in the court and thereafter, the deceased was brought back to his house and again this occurrence took place, which clearly shows intention of the petitioner. It is also submitted that earlier also there was allegation of torture by the petitioner to his wife and for that several complaint petitions were filed.
Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of nine months and if not concluded, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
