Counsel for Applicant :- Akhilesh Kumar Mishra Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Aniruddha Singh,J.
Counter affidavit filed today is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri P.K. Srivastava, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.
Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that due to husband the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The applicant is languishing in jail since 24.7.2017 (about two years) having no criminal history. Due to heavy load work in the trial court, there is no possibility to get this case decided in near future. The wife of the deceased (Rajkumari) had committed suicide herself. Nobody had killed her. In case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail and co-operate in trial.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer of bail and submitted that applicant is the husband of the deceased. The marriage was solemnized in the year 2014 and on 20.7.2017 the applicant had killed his wife. Cause of death was found throttling. Hyoid bone was found fractured. The applicant is the main accused. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is false implication of the applicant. Therefore, his bail application is liable to be rejected.
Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties, facts of the case, nature of allegation, gravity of offence, without entering into the merits of the case, the Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case for bail. Hence, the bail application of the applicant in Case Crime No. 720 of 2017, under Sections 498A, 304B I.P.C. and Section 3/4 of D.P. Act, Police Station Munderwa, District Basti is hereby rejected at this stage.
It is expected from the trial court to decide the case of the applicant expeditiously according to Section 309 Cr.P.C. on day to day basis.
D.M. & S.P./S.S.P,- Basti are directed to ensure the presence of the witnesses summoned before the court below. The learned District Judge, Basti is also directed to monitor the case on monthly basis in the Monitoring Cell.
