IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26672 of 2010 PRADEEP KUMAR YADAV SON OF BEDANAND YADAV RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KUSHAHA,P.S.TRIBENIGANJ,DISTT.SUPAUL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr.Naresh Kumar Mehta For the State : Mr.Addl.P.P. ----------- 03/ 27.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is accused in Tribeniganj P.S.Case No. 111 of 2007 (Sessions Trial No. 31 of 2009). Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 14.5.2009 vide Cr.Misc.No. 10455 of 2009 considering the allegation that he is husband of the deceased in a case under Section 498A and 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. By order dated 28.7.2010, a report regarding stage of the trial was called for which has been received. From the report it appears that the trial has begun and four prosecution witnesses have been examined after framing of charge. Considering the allegation, the prayer for bail has been rejected earlier. No doubt, the petitioner is in 2 custody since 3.10.2007 but considering the relationship of the petitioner with the deceased, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial within one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and if the trial is not concluded with the said period, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court below.
