The petitioner seeks bail in Chanan P.S. Case No. 78 of 2014, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302/34/120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

The wife of the deceased alleged that her husband went along with the petitioner but he did not return till 4pm. The informant further disclosed that when her husband did not receive the call she further called to the petitioner (Pappu Singh) at 7.30 pm and the petitioner disclosed that her husband was killed and his dead body was thrown away in the river. On the same day the dead body could not be searched due to night. In the next morning the dead body of Gopal Singh @ Karu Singh, the husband of the informant was found inside the river.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.8219 of 2015 (4) dt.05-05-2015 2/2 The inquest report shows that the deceased was killed by strangulation.

It is submitted that the post-mortem report shows that the deceased died due to drowning. No external injury was found. It appears that the deceased was with the petitioner and petitioner himself disclosed to the informant that her husband was killed and thrown in the river from where the dead body of the deceased was recovered, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt of this order. If the trial is not concluded within stipulated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail, firstly in the trial court. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J.) Rakhi/- U T
