IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 2325 of 2014 Bhagwan Sharma ... ... Petitioner -V e r s u s - The State of Jharkhand ... ... Opposite Party … CORAM: - HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE D. N. UPADHYAY For the Petitioner :Mr. Anurag Kashyap, Advocate. For the State: :APP 6/04.07.2014 Heard the parties. The petitioner is an accused in connection with Mahgama P.S. Case No. 120 of 2012 [G.R. No. 1100 of 2012] and S.T. No. 40/2013, pending in the Court of District and Additional Sessions Judge – II, Godda. It appears that petitioner has been prosecuted for causing dowry death and he is father-in-law of the deceased. It is submitted that petitioner is suffering with various ailments including cardiac problem. This fact find support from report of the jail doctor. The prosecution witnesses are not appearing before the Court. In the circumstances, the petitioner may be granted bail. Learned counsel appearing for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer. It appears that within 15 months, the petitioner has preferred 4th bail application. Earlier on three occasions the prayer for bail on behalf of the petitioner has been rejected on merit. Considering the allegations and earlier orders, I am not inclined to reconsider prayer for bail of the petitioner and accordingly, it is rejected again. However, trial court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order, as suggested by the trial court, failing which the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
