The petitioner is in custody in connection with Sessions Trial No. 82 of 2021 arising out of Kharagpur (Shampur) P.S. Case No. 237 of 2020 under sections 304(B)/201/120(B) 34 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code. As per prosecution case, the petitioner is husband of the deceased who is alleged to have been killed for dowry and as per the informant, in the night of 8th September, 2020, the petitioner herein took his daughter and grand sons namely Raman Kumar and Ritik Kumar aged 7 and 5 years respectively near a bridge and after killing them, threw the bodies in the ditch to make it a case of suicide.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70651 of 2021(3) dt.01-08-2022 2/2 charge-sheet has been submitted under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. He further submits that he is in custody since 10.9.2020.

Considering the fact that a young lady and two minor children have died and the petitioner, who happens to be the husband and the father of the deceased persons, he cannot exonerate himself for the happening that led to the death of three innocent persons.

Taking into account the aforesaid facts, this Court for the present is not inclined to grant him the privilege of bail which is hereby rejected.

In view of the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 10.9.2020, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same, preferably within a period of one year.

With the aforesaid observation, the bail application is rejected.
