Neutral Citation No. (2025:JHHC:34131) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 9716 of 2025 Hasbul Ansari @ Hasibul Ansari, aged about 23 years, S/o Hanif Ansari, R/o Village Khunti Tola Sons, P.O- Sons, P.S. Chanho, District- Ranchi, Jharkhand … Petitioner - Versus - The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party ------ CORAM: - HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. K. S. Nanda, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, A.P.P. --- 03/14.11.2025 Heard the parties. Petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. Case No. 500 of 2024 arising out of Chanho P.S. Case No. 170 of 2021 for the offences registered under sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-XV, Ranchi. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide B.A. No.8862 of 2024 by order dated 21.01.2025. Petitioner is the Bhainsur of the deceased Reshma Parveen, who died due to burn injuries within seven months of her marriage in her matrimonial home. It is alleged that she was tortured to enforce the demand of dowry. Witnesses have specifically stated that it was this petitioner and his wife who had immolated the deceased. Report regarding the stage of trial earlier called for, has been received. It appears that charge has been framed in this case and the trial is likely to be concluded within one year. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. The learned trial court shall expedite the trial.
