IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34321 of 2008 MD.GULJAR, Son of Md. Kaiyyum, Resident of Village- Lakhanipatti, P.S. & District- Supaul :---------Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR:----------Opposite Party ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Verma, Advocate. For the Opposite Party : Mr. Nitya Nand Tiwari, A.P.P. ======== 5. 19.12.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased and is accused in a case under Section 304B of the Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. In view of the allegation set out against the petitioner in the First Information Report, I am not inclined to release him on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. He is in jail custody since 12.12.2007 and by now he has remained in jail custody for more than one year as under trial prisoner. The case has already been committed to the court of Sessions. In the circumstances, I direct the trial court (F.T.C.-III, Supaul) to expedite the trial (Sessions Trial No. 87 of 2008, arising out of Supaul P.S.Case No. 249 of 2007) and conclude the same at the earliest, in any case within nine months from today. The Superintendent of Police, Supaul and the Officer-in-Charge concerned are directed to produce the witnesses in the trial court on every date fixed so that the trial is concluded within the time indicated in this order. Let a copy of this order be forwarded not only to the trial court but also to the Superintendent of police, Supaul and the Officer-in-Charge concerned through fax by the office of this Court. P.K.P.
