IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47249 of 2008 MD. ZIAUDDIN son of late Md. Bashir Ahmad, resident of Mohalla Kamela Road, Purabsarai, P).S. Kotwali,District Munger … … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … … Opp. Party For the petitioner:Shri Arjun Prasad -2 For the State: Shri Dashrath Mehta, APP ----------- 3. 3.2.2009 Heard. The petitioner is the husband and is in custody in a case under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code since December, 2007, and he surrendered to the custody of the Court on 4.12.2007. The allegation is that the petitioner and his parents and other family members killed the deceased. There is consistent support to the allegation and most of the independent witnesses, like, one examined in paragraph 78 of the Case diary gives an account of the lady being killed. May be that his evidence is of the value of a hearsay witness but for the purpose of bail I utilised the same to dismiss the prayer of the petitioner, who is the husband. The trial court which is seized with 2 Sessions Trial No. 528 of 2008 arising out of Kotwali P.S.Case No. 464 of 2007 is directed to expedite the hearing of the trial, if it has been committed. If the case has not been committed, then the Magistrate who could be seized with the matter shall ensure that the commitment order is passed in this month itself. The petition is dismissed.
