IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37408 of 2009 RAVI SHANKAR RAM S/O GANGA RAM VILL- CHAINPUR, P.S. KARJA, DISTT. MUZAFFARPUR ------- PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Yugal Kishore, Advocate For the State : Mr. R.P.S. Singh, A.P.P. ----------- 3 17-11-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 304 B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner who is the husband of the deceased that P.W.1, grand-father of the deceased , in his cross- examination has stated that the accused persons never demanded dowry from him and the grand-daughter did not make any complain before him. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that even that prosecution witness has also supported the case. However, the allegation in the first information report is that the petitioner had made a demand of dowry before the informant and not before the grand-father of the deceased. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as also the fact that the trial is going on and some witnesses have also been examined , I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, the Court below is directed the conclude the trial within a period of six months. NKS/- ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J)
