Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no eye witness of the occurrence and it is alleged that the petitioner and the another co-accused have given threatening to the deceased to leave his daughter otherwise he will have to face consequence and on the next day, his dead-body was recovered.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.33859 of 2017 (3) dt.02-08-2017 2/2 The petitioner is in custody for about six months. Heard learned A.P.P. also, who has opposed the prayer for bail, stating that the witnesses have seen the accused persons assaulting by fists and slaps to the deceased and the passerby pacified them and thereafter the accused persons including the petitioner followed him and next day, his dead-body was recovered.

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. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected and the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude it as soon as possible. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
