Mr. Zainul Abedin, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 20-11-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Supaul Nadi P.S. Case No.8 of 2019 registered under Sections 41, 323, 498A, 304B, 201 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Considering the gravity of the offence and the allegation that the petitioner being the husband killed his wife and disposed off her body for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry, I am not inclined to grant him bail for the present even though some of his other relatives has already been granted bail by a Bench of this Court. The application is rejected. In case, the trial is not completed within nine months from the date of framing of charge, the petitioner would
