IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40137 of 2009 ADITYA THAKUR, son of Bhuneshwar Thakur, resident of village Baradih, P.S. Barachatti, District Gaya Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 24.11.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. There would be no difficulty in understanding the submission of the counsel for the petitioner that for an offence u/s 498A I.P.C. the petitioner husband will not be liable only because for a period of six years even after lodging of the complaint the wife was residing with him. This Court would find that the petitioner was a main accused in a complaint case and yet even after taking cognizance remained absconding. If thereafter the petitioner could be nabbed only on 9.7.2009, this Court would not be inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but then as it is a complaint case of the year 2003 this Court would direct the court below to proceed with the trial and conclude the same expeditiously preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. 2 With the aforementioned observation, this application is dismissed.
