No.35401 of 2009 ANIL RAI @ ANIL RAM Son of Sri Ramji Rai Resident of Village Barariya, Police Station Thakraha, (Bhitah O.P.), District West Champaran (Bettiah). Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 12/10/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering nature of allegation and the injuries found on the person of the deceased-wife, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, who is husband and is in custody for almost one year, i.e, from 27.11.2008. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Since the case has already been committed to the court of Sessions, the trial court is directed to ensure that trial of the petitioner is concluded within a period of one year from the date of receipt of this order. If trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the aforementioned period of one year on account of laches on the part of the prosecution, the petitioner shall have liberty to move the trial court for bail which will be under obligation to record reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter the petitioner can renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
