IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31957 of 2009 AMAR RAM Son of Late Bino Ram, resident of Village-Nayanagar, P.S. Hasanpur, District-Samastipur. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 10/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the fact, that it is the petitioner who not only had caused mental harassment to the deceased first wife by getting married again to another lady in her life time but also ultimately was found to be responsible directly or indirectly in doing away with the life of the aforesaid first wife, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner only on the ground that second wife Rina Ram or Dever Arun Ram @ Rudal Ram have been granted bail. It is the petitioner who seems to be prima-facie responsible for such death of his first wife especially when family members of the first wife were not informed about her death. This Court would therefore reject prayer of the petitioner by directing the court below to proceed with the trial so that the same is concluded within a period of one year from today. In the event, trial would not be concluded within the period as aforesaid, the petitioner will have liberty initially to move the trial court, which would record reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter the petitioner will be at liberty to move this Court.
