For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Rakesh Prabhat For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Arun Kumar Pandey ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 24-04-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner has prayed for bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per allegation in the FIR, marriage of the informant's sister (deceased) was solemnized 10 years back with the petitioner and out of the said wedlock two daughters were blessed. It is alleged that informant and his family members used to torture her mentally and physically for dowry demand and for a male child. On 24.04.2020, she was being killed by the members of her matrimonial home.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is husband of the deceased and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Prior to the alleged occurrence,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.67670 of 2022(4) dt.24-04-2023 2/2 no complain regarding torture or harassment for demand of dowry. Petitioner had very cordial relationship with his wife since the date of marriage and out of the said wedlock, there are two daughters and in such situation, it is hard to believe to kill his wife. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in judicial custody since 3.7.2020. It appears from perusal of the progress report that till now charges have not been framed. There is no possibility in near future to be concluded.

The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the period of custody of the petitioner, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned A.D.J. VII, Hajipur at Vaishali in connection with S. Tr. No. 351 of 2022 arising out of Rajapakar P.S. Case No. 85 of 2020. (Sunil Kumar Panwar, J) sushma/- U
