IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26133 of 2009 MD.ALAM, Son of Sekh Tasso, resident of Village- Uda, P.S. Mahalgaon, District-Araria. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 2/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. There cannot be any dispute that the petitioner is named accused in a complaint case of the year 2005 in which he was wanted for all these four years, but then he had surrendered only on 10.3.2009 and that too after death of the victim lady, wife of the petitioner. The submission that the victim lady had already got second marriage and died thereafter, is a matter of defence and can be looked into only in course of trial. The fact remains that the petitioner is husband and has absconded from process of law for a period of four years and therefore he is not entitled for privilege of bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. The trial court is directed to ensure that trial of the petitioner is taken up expeditiously and is concluded within a period of six months. In the event, such trial is not concluded within the period as aforesaid the petitioner will have liberty to initially move the trial court and the trial court will have to record reasons for not concluding the trial within the time frame, and it is only thereafter the petitioner will have liberty to move this Court.
