IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3723 of 2011 BALIRAM RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 28.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Kadwa (Balia Belon) P.S. Case no.169/2010 registered under section 302 of the IPC. Admittedly, petitioner is husband of the deceased and as per prosecution case prior to the alleged occurrence, a quarrel had taken place between deceased as well as the petitioner and in the next morning, dead body of the deceased was found within the four walls of the house of the petitioner. The post mortem report suggests that the deceased was done to strangulation. It appears from perusal of the case diary that at the time of alleged occurrence, the petitioner and the deceased were alone in their house. Considering the above stated circumstantial materials as well as submissions of the parties, it is not proper to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. However, the trial court shall expedite the trial of the petitioner and shall take steps to conclude the trial within one year from the date of receipt of this order and if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, he may renew his prayer for bail. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
