Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31474 of 2018 (5) dt.30-07-2018 P2/ school going children. The mother-in-law has already been allowed anticipatory bail by a coordinate Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No.14904 of 2018.

Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail is refused. The learned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within nine months, failing which the petitioner would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail before the trial judge itself, who shall pass a reasoned order.
