ORAL ORDER

2

10-02-2021

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

counsel for the State.

Petitioner, who is in custody, seeks bail in a case

registered for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A),

341, 323, 307, and 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section

3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Later on Section 304(B) was

also added.

Petitioner had earlier moved this Court for grant of

regular bail which was rejected vide Annexure 1 with a direction

to the trial court to expedite the trial and conclude the same

within one year.

There is direct allegation against petitioner made by

his wife (since deceased) in her fardbeyan that he poured

kerosene oil upon her and set ablaze, as a result of which, she

died subsequently.

It has been submitted on behalf of petitioner that he is

innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is

further submitted that 7 witnesses have been examined and only

two official witnesses are to be examined. Petitioner has no

criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 01.04.2018.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case

and nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the

petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the

petitioner is hereby rejected.

However, the court below is directed to expedite the

trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of

receipt/production of the copy of the order.

With the above observation, this application is

disposed of.
