IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24264 of 2010 Shambhu Rai, son of Ram Harakh Rai, resident of village Baghi Gopinath, P.S. Manihari, District Muzaffarpur --- Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR--- Opp. Party. ----------- 4/ 06-10-2010 Heard the parties. In a criminal prosecution registered under sections 304B/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased, Renu Devi. According to the prosecution case within two years of the marriage the deceased was done to death by the petitioner with the help of the other accused persons. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased was suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, as a result of which she died. The petitioner is in judicial custody since 04.11.2009. Learned Additional Public Prosecution has opposed the prayer for bail and has pointed out that the defence taken by the petitioner was not found to be correct during the course of investigation. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased and the occurrence has taken place within two years of marriage, the prayer for bail made on behalf of the petitioner is rejected at this stage. However, learned 2 Magistrate is directed to commit the case of the petitioner forthwith and on such commitment, all endeavours should be made by the learned trial court to conclude the trial of the petitioner as early as possible, preferably within a period of nine months from the date of commitment. However, if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the aforesaid period of nine months, without there being any fault on part of the petitioner, he shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the learned trial court itself.
