IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1019 of 2011 LOLITA DEVI @ LALIKA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 12.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. Petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased and there is specific allegation against her that she lit fire on the person of the deceased. The deceased made her statement before the police and she specifically stated that the petitioner had lit the fire on her body. Although learned counsel for the petitioner tried to convince me about the innocence of the petitioner and also tried to seek sympathy of this court by placing the age of the petitioner but I am not at all convinced with his submission and accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Kanti P.S. Case No. 35 of 2006 stands rejected. It is pointed out by learned counsel for the petitioner that case of the petitioner has not been committed to the court of sessions as yet. In the aforesaid circumstance, learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, West , Muzaffarpur is directed to commit the case of the petitioner to the court of sessions in accordance with law within 15 days from the date of 2 receipt of this order and furthermore, after commitment of the case of the petitioner, learned Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur shall ensure the trial of the petitioner and trial court should conclude the trial of the petitioner within six months from the date of receipt of the record in his court. It is made clear that if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above-said period, the petitioner may renew her prayer for bail before the trial court itself. Let this order be communicated to the court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate (West), Muzaffarpur through fax at the cost of the petitioner. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
