IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.57 of 2011 ARUN SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR 02/ 02.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Tikapatti P.S. Case no. 36/2010 registered under section 304B/34 of the IPC. Petitioner is the husband of the deceased who died within seven years of her marriage and there is allegation that deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment by the petitioner prior to her death on account of non-fulfillment of illegal dowry demand. The impugned order of the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, III, Purnea reveals that charge has already been framed against the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid circumstances, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial of petitioner within nine months. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
