IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.33135 of 2011 Chandan Rai, S/O-Late Ram Chandra Rai Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 03 30.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State assisted by learned counsel for the informant. Petitioner being husband of the deceased is languishing in jail custody since 23.05.2011 in a case registered under Sections 304 B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It would appear from perusal of the first information report that the marriage of deceased had taken place with petitioner three years ago but allegedly, on account of non-fulfilment of illegal demand she was burnt to death. In course of investigation so-called independent witnesses stated before the Investigating Officer that deceased had given her all ornaments to her brother-in-law and when she was pressurized by her husband as well as other family members to bring the aforesaid ornaments, she committed suicide. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, particularly, keeping in mind that the death of deceased is other than normal circumstances and there is allegation of demand of dowry as well as torturing, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Khodawandpur P.S. Case No. 37 of 2011 pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai is, 2 hereby, rejected It appears from perusal of prayer portion of this petition that the case of this petitioner is still pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai. In the aforesaid circumstance, learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai is directed to commit the case of the petitioner to the court of Sessions in accordance with law within three weeks from the date of receipt of this order, if the same has not been committed to the court of Sessions as yet. It is also made clear that after commitment, the learned trial court shall take all possible steps to conclude the trial of the petitioner within nine months from the date of commitment of the case and if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
