IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12164 of 2011 RUSTAM KHAN @ RUSTAM MIAN @ RUSTAM, Son of Sri Ainul Haque @ Ainul Haque Khan. Versus THE UNION OF INDIA THROUGH C.B.I ----------- 2. 15.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the marriage of daughter of the petitioner is going to be solemnized on 19.04.2011 so on humanitarian ground, the petitioner may be permitted to attend the aforesaid marriage ceremony. On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for C.B.I. vehemently opposed the prayer pointing out that the petitioner has chequered history of criminal cases and on one occasion he had escaped from police custody. It is also pointed out by him that the case is on verge of conclusion as the Sessions Trial No.948/2001 is pending for recording the statement of the accused. Having considered the above stated submissions of the parties, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner for attending the above stated marriage ceremony because even if it assumed that the marriage ceremony of daughter of the petitioner is going to be performed, the presence of the petitioner is not essential, according to Muslim law. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner in connection with Siwan Town P.S.Case No.54/1997 corresponding to Sessions Trial No.948/2001 stands refused. 2 However, learned Trial Court should expedite the trial of the petitioner.
