IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.20808 of 2011 Ranjit Rout Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3 13-09-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Admittedly, the marriage of the petitioner had taken place with the deceased in the year, 2008 and it is alleged that the deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment on account of non-fulfillment of illegal demand of Rs 30,000. It is stated by the informant in his written report that on 14.10.2010, he got a telephonic message that his daughter fled away from her matrimonial home and when he reached at the matrimonial home of his daughter, he found her matrimonial house locked and he came to know that his daughter was killed by in-laws’ family including the petitioner on account of non-fulfillment of illegal demand. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that in course of investigation, several witnesses stated before the I.O. that the deceased committed suicide because she wanted partition in the in-laws’ family. It is also contended by him that according to prosecution case itself, the informant got knowledge about the missing of his daughter on 14.10.2010 but he lodged the present case on 16.10.2010. Taking into consideration the above-said facts and circumstances as well as materials available on the record, I do - 2 - not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail, at least, at this stage. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Rahui P.S. Case No. 226 of 2010 stands rejected. However, it appears from prayer portion of the bail petition that the case of this petitioner is still pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda. In the aforesaid circumstance, Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda is directed to commit the case of the petitioner, who is an accused in Rahui P.S. Case No. 226 of 2010, to the court of sessions within one month from the date of receipt of the order in accordance with law and after receipt of the record, the trial court shall conclude the trial as early as possible.
