IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.43424 of 2009 SANTOSH KUMAR, son of Bijendra Prasad Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5/ 29.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 304-B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner being the husband of the deceased has not explained as to how the dead body of his wife was found in a ditch near brick kiln of one Anil Singh, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it expeditiously. The trial court is also directed to take all coercive steps to secure the attendance of the co-accused including cancellation of bail of the co-accused, who have been released on bail and are not appearing in trial.
