No.11961 of 2011 PAPPU SAH @ PAPPU KUMAR SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 26.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is facing trial before learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track court-VI, Araria in Sessions Trial No. 337 of 2009 for the charges under Section 304 B and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code on the allegation that he committed dowry death of his wife and he is languishing in jail custody since 10.10.2003. Earlier, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected several times and lastly, vide order dated 22.04.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 8166 of 2009 with a liberty to petitioner to renew his prayer for bail, if his trial is not concluded within one year from the date of framing of the charge. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that charge was framed against the petitioner on 23.12.2009 and up- till-now the trial of the petitioner has not been concluded, which is evident from the impugned order of the learned court below itself. It appears from perusal of the impugned order that Doctor, Investigating Officer and some other witnesses have already been examined on behalf of the prosecution but the trial of the petitioner is still pending before the trial court. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as 2 well as period of detention of the petitioner in judicial custody, let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-VI, Araria in connection with Rani Ganj P.S. Case No. 156 of 2003 corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 337 of 2009 subject to condition that one of the sureties must be close relative of the petitioner and furthermore, petitioner shall attend the trial court in person on each and every date for the period of three months and if he fails to do so without any genuine reason, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioner.
