IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21216 of 2010 NAND KISHORE SHARMA, Son of Sri Yogendra singh, resident of village Ahiapur, P.S. Bihta, District Patna. ….. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …. Opposite Party ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Aditya Nr. Singh, Advocate For the State : Mr. Arun Kumar, A.P.P. ---- 5 25.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for offences punishable under Sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that during the course of investigation it has been found that the deceased had died due to illness. However, the entire family members had been roped in the case. Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner is the husband of the deceased and the marriage of the deceased was solemnized on 25.5.2004 and there is allegation that she was being tortured and subsequently she had been killed. It has been submitted that the petitioner’s prayer for bail has earlier been rejected by this Court on 2 26.11.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 25421 of 2009. Having heard the parties, this court is of the opinion that the petitioner’s prayer for bail has already been rejected on merit on 26.11.2009, and the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner could not make out any fresh ground for grant of bail. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. However, I have seen the report of the concerned court with regard to the stage of trial. This is a case instituted in the year 2008 and though the petitioner has remained in custody since 7.7.2008, i.e., for about more than two years, the trial has not been concluded. It appears that the charges have already been framed on 24.7.2010. Thus, the concerned court is directed to take every steps for expeditious disposal of the Sessions Trial No. 2456 of 2008 preferably within six months. If the trial is not concluded within such period, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail. Spd/- ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
