Counsel for Applicant :- Ajay Kumar Pandey,Sheshadri Trivedi,Shri Satish Trivedi, Senior Advocate Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in case crime no. 104 of 2016, under Sections 498A, 304B and 307 IPC and Section 3/4 Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station-Saroorpur, District-Meerut, is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that F.I.R. was lodged by the first informant against the five accused persons including the applicant for the alleged incident said to have been taken place on 06.04.2016. The allegation is that the marriage of the daughter of the complainant was solemnized with the applicant. She was subjected to cruelty by her in-laws for demand of additional dowry. The applicant is the husband of the deceased. It is also submitted that the applicant is languishing in jail since 08.04.2016.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the bail prayer of the applicant and submitted that as many as four witnesses of facts have been examined in the present case and the trial is at the advanced stage.
Under the circumstances, keeping in view that four witnesses of facts have been examined and considering the fact that the trial is at the advanced stage, I do not find any good reason to grant indulgence to the applicant.
Thus, the bail application stands rejected.
It is expected from the learned trial court to gear up the trial and made necessary endeavour to conclude the trial latest by 31.12.2018 provided the applicant fully cooperates in conclusion of the trial.
Office is directed to transmit the copy of this order to the learned trial court within 15 days for intimation and necessary compliance.
