IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16955 of 2008 KAMLESH SAHNI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 09.05.2008 This is an application for the grant of regular bail in a case filed by Lal Babu Sahni for the dowry death of his sister Rekha Devi married to the petitioner against the husband and the wife of the brother of the husband. Subsequently, Rekha Devi returned and made statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. that her husband who has got illicit relation with his Bhabhi threw him in a river. She stated that few Mallah took her out from the water of the river in a boat and took him to the house where they extended treatment to her. Thereafter she returned. It is also alleged that she was pregnant and gave birth. Learned lawyer for the petitioner submits that no offence as such has taken place and no Maah (fisherman) has been examined in this case. He, therefore, submits that the petitioner is innocent and he is in custody from 15th November, 2007. He, therefore, prays for bail. Considering the statement of the victim under Section 164 Cr.P.C., I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail. Hence, his prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and see that the trial is concluded as early as possible. Mkr. (Anwar Ahmad, J)
