IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.20456 of 2009 1. PRAMOD MANDAL 2. RAMA MANDAL. ------ PETITIONERS. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ---- OPP. PARTY. ----------- 02. 22.06.2009 Heard both sides. Both the petitioners have approached this court for grant of regular bail in a case instituted under Sections 304B/34 of the Penal code. The occurrence, in the present case had taken place on 05.07.2005. The petitioners along with other family members are named in the F.I.R. It appears that petitioners herein have surrendered to the jurisdiction of the court recently on 17.03.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that their father and mother who were taken into custody were put on trial and the learned trial court in Sessions Trial No. 354 of 2006 have found not sufficient evidence to convict them, and as such, they have been acquitted. Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the petitioners were truant for a pretty long time and they do not deserve the privilege of bail. Having considered the submissions and after going through the record, this court, for the present, is not inclined to 2 admit them to bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail stands rejected. Let the trial of the petitioners be taken up at the earliest and the examination of the prosecution witnesses be concluded on or before 31st of October 2009. In the event the prosecution is not able to complete the evidence, the petitioners are granted liberty to approach this court afresh. With these observations the application is disposed of.
