IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31139 of 2009 UPENDRA KUMAR VERMA Son of Late Radhey Pd. Singh Village Akauni Tola Harhani Bigha, P.S. Daudnagar, District Aurangabad. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 12/10/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on merits by order dated 22.5.2009 in Cr. Misc. No.11542 of 2009 and this Court would not understand the logic of filing this bail application immediately after completion of a period of three months only. Allegation against the petitioner is quite serious as has been noted earlier also in the order of this Court. Submission of counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is now prepared to keep his wife with him will also be of no avail. It is alleged in the complaint petition itself that the petitioner a Hindu in the life time of living spouse has already married some other lady which by itself is a good ground for refusal of the daughter of the complainant, the legally wedded wife to live together with the petitioner. In that view of the matter, the petitioner cannot be released on bail even by taking a plea of his preparedness for restoring his relationship with daughter of the complainant, the first wife. Considering all the aforesaid aspects, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail 2 of the petitioner is again rejected. The trial court is however directed to ensure speedy trial of the petitioner provided all accused have already surrendered and are before the Court. In the event all the accused persons are before the Court, the trial court shall frame charges and proceed with the trial and conclude the same within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial is not concluded within the aforementioned period of one year, the petitioner shall have liberty to initially move before the trial court for bail, which would be under obligation to give reasons for not concluding the trial, whereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
