IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23647 of 2009 SADANAND SAHNI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 30.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

As per the allegation the victim who happens to be the wife died within two years of the marriage and no cogent explanation is coming out for the said death. Learned counsel for the petitioner however submits that the petitioner has now remained in custody for more than two years. He has certain explanations to offer about the death but those are matters which will require to be examined in course of the trial. But one of the reasons why the Court is inclined to consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner is that despite the case having been instituted in 2007 commitment has been only done recently and there is no possibility of conclusion of the trial in near future. Taking the above submission and the period of custody in mind, let the petitioner, namely, Sadanand Sahni be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rs. Twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of A. D.J FTC V, Saharsa in connection with Sessions - 2 - Trial No. 105 of 2008 arising out of Bakhtiarpur P.S. Case No. 80 of 2007. One of the sureties will be executed by Suresh Sahni, the brother of the petitioner, on due identification by the court below. It is further recorded that the petitioner will not intimidate the witnesses and will cooperate in the trial of the case by appearing on each and every date fixed in the case by himself or through his counsel.
