IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25231 of 2009 MD.MAHBOOD @ MD.MAHMBOOD SON OFMD. AKHTAR RESIDENT OF VILLAGE – FULMALIK, SAHEBPUR KAMAL, P.S. SAHEBPUR KAMAL, DISTT. BEGUSARAI ----- PETITIONER. Versus. STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 23/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The case is under Sections 302 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is the husband. The case is that the deceased was tortured and strangulated by the accused persons including the petitioner and buried in a hurry. The body was dug out and postmortem was held in which the cause of death has been found as strangulation. There is nothing in the case diary to give credence to the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the deceased fell into a pond accidentally and was drowning and after the villagers took her out, she was dead. Considering the above facts and circumstances and in absence of any material in the case diary to give credence to the submission of the learned Counsel for the Petitioner, this Court is not inclined to allow the petitioner on bail. The application is accordingly rejected. Learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the father, mother and the petitioner (only son) are all three in judicial custody. In the circumstances, learned trial court is 2 directed to proceed with the trial expeditiously and make all endeavours to conclude the trial within six months. S.Ali (J.N. Singh, J.)
