IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22548 of 2008 KUNTI DEVI W/O-Lakhan Vishwakarma, R/O-Vill-Domhatia Nala, P.S.-Hasua, Distt.-Nawada. …………………………………………..Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 8/ 09.01.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is named accused of the case which has been registered under Section 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Beside the petitioner her son is also named accused. The case was adjourned earlier and learned Counsel for the petitioner has taken time for seeking instruction as to whether the husband of the deceased has surrender in the Court or not as yet. His instruction is that the husband of the deceased is still traceless. Submission of learned Counsel for the petitioner is that she is of advanced age and has a number of serious ailments. She is in custody since 18.09.2007. Despite framing of charge not - 2 - even one witness has been examined by now. It appears that the charges have been framed and the trial has begun and the son of the petitioner is still traceless. Considering this, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly her prayer for bail is rejected. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
