IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No. 8438 of 2011 Subodh Kuwar, S/o Late Saryug Kuwar. Versus The State of Bihar ----------------- 03. 21.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. Even though the plea has been taken by him that his wife had disappeared no steps had been taken to trace her out or reported the matter to any one. There is no explanation of the petitioner as to how his wife disappeared if at all. There is statement of a bullock cart driver that the petitioner had hired his services and made him stand next to a river and thereafter boarded the same again after throwing the alleged dead body of his wife. Considering the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
