Zaffar Ansari @ Zafar Ansari @ Zafar S/O Late Md. Rashid Ansari .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 3 09-05-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner being husband of the deceased is in jail custody in a case registered under [STATUTE] . The contention on behalf of the petitioner is that the first information report as well as post-mortem report reflect that deceased committed suicide and as a matter of fact, deceased was taken away by the petitioner from her parental home to her matrimonial home which caused annoyance to the deceased who later on, committed suicide. Although, learned counsel for the petitioner tried to convince me about the innocence of the petitioner but I am not, at all, convinced with his submission and considering the materials available on the case diary, I am not inclined to release the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.11869 of 2012 (3) dt.09-05-2012 petitioner on bail and accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 1315 of 2011 arising out of Kishanganj P.S. Case No. 260 of 2011 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-IV, Kishanganj is, hereby, rejected, at least, at this stage. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible. SHAHZAD/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J)
