IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28150 of 2009 BHOLA SAHANI, son of late Gaynchandra Sahani @ Langar Sahani, resident of village Briti Tola, P.S. Harsidhi, District East Champaran Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 4.9.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The prayer of the petitioner for bail has been earlier rejected by an order dated 16.1.2009 in Cr.Misc.No. 42792/2008. Such rejection being on merits as is apparent from the aforementioned order, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case again. The husband petitioner, however, is facing prosecution under section 304B and the allied offences of the Indian Penal Code and is in custody since 11th March, 2008. It is said that the trial is in progress but the learned counsel is not in a position to say the present stage of the trial. That being so, this Court while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner would direct the court below to ensure that the trial against the petitioner is completed within a period of six months from today and in the event such trial is not completed in the aforementioned period, 2 the petitioner will have the liberty to move the court below which will have to record reasons for not concluding the trial. It is only thereafter the petitioner can renew his prayer for bail. With the aforementioned observations, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
