was allowed and the <b><b>bail</b></b> granted to the accused was cancelled. In this
connection, I think it apt to quote here paragraph nos.4 &amp; 6 of the said
judgment which reads as follows:-</span>
</p>
</section>
<section class="fragment">
<blockquote id="blockquote_1"> "4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted
that the impugned order shows that learned Chief
Judicial Magistrate granted <b><b>bail</b></b> to opposite party no. 2
under <a href="/doc/839149/" id="a_25">Section 167(2)</a>, Cr.P.C. by relying on a decision of
Single Judge of Jharkhand High Court reported in
2002(3) Criminal Law Journal 2507 by which it has
been held that in a case under <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_26">Section 304B</a>, I.P.C. if
chargesheet is not submitted within sixty days from the
date of custody of an accused, he will be entitled to <b><b>bail</b></b>
under <a href="/doc/1450682/" id="a_27">Section 167(2)(a)(ii)</a>, Cr.P.C. He has further
argued that learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Sitamarhi did not consider the decision of a Division
Bench of this Court reported in 2003(2) P.L.J.R. 327 by
which it has been held that for <b><b>bail</b></b> under Section
5 / 13
167(2), Cr. P.C., the gravity of the offence has to be seen
with reference to the maximum sentence provided. <span class="citetext" data-docid="1747003" data-sentiment="PARTY" id="span_11">In
this case, the decision of Supreme Court reported in
(2001) 5 S.C.C. 453 (<a href="/doc/1747003/" id="a_28">Uday Mohanlal Acharya vs. State
of Maharashtra</a>) which has also been reported in
2001(1) J.L.J.R. 890 S.C. (Reported in 2001(2) PLJR
(SC) 182] relied upon by the Single Judge of Jharkhand
High Court has also been relied upon. In 2001 (1)
J.L.J.R. 890 S.C. the principle was laid down that when
investigation is not completed within the specified
period, an accused in custody gets an indefeasible right
to be released on <b><b>bail</b></b> if he is prepared to furnish <b><b>bail</b></b>
bond. It was further decided that if such an accused filed
a petition for <b><b>bail</b></b> under <a href="/doc/1815602/" id="a_29">Section 167(2)</a>, Cr. P.C. before
submission of chargesheet and before any order on his
petition is passed, chargesheet is submitted, it cannot be
said that he has not availed of the right to be released on
<b><b>bail</b></b>. This was the case on the point of accruing an
indefeasible right by an accused in custody for his
release on <b><b>bail</b></b> under <a href="/doc/1815602/" id="a_30">Section 167(2)</a>, Cr. P.C. in case of
non-completion of investigation within stipulated period
which may be ninety days. The learned counsel for the
petitioner submits that by ignoring the decision of
Division Bench of this Court, the learned Chief Judicial
Magistrate, Sitamarhi relied upon judgment of a Single
Judge of another High Court which is not proper. His
further argument is that in another judgment of a Single
Judge of Himachal Pradesh High Court reported in
2003 Criminal Law Journal 1668, it has been held that
in case of <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_31">Section 304B</a>, I.P.C. since maximum term of
imprisonment being more than ten years of
imprisonment, period of ninety days would be applicable
for considering the question of release on <b><b>bail</b></b> under
<a href="/doc/1815602/" id="a_32">Section 167(2)</a>, Cr. P.C. According to him on the same
6 / 13
point if there are divergent views expressed by different
Benches of Single Judge of different High Courts and
there is a decision of Division Bench of this High Court
covering directly the point in issue, it was not proper for
the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate to pass any order
ignoring the decision of Division Bench of this Court to
which he is subordinate and to base his order on the
decision of a Bench of Single Judge of a different High
Court when on the said point different view has been
expressed by Bench of the Single Judge of another High
Court."</span>

<blockquote id="blockquote_2"> <span class="citetext" data-docid="1747003" data-sentiment="Pos" id="span_13">"6. In the judgment of a Single Judge of Jharkhand
High Court on the basis of which opposite party no. 2
has been granted <b><b>bail</b></b>, it has been observed that because
imprisonment under <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_33">Section 304B</a>, I.P.C. provides that it
will be of not less than seven years but it may extend to
imprisonment for life so it does not come within the
purview of <a href="/doc/1815602/" id="a_34">Section 167(2)(a)(ii)</a>, Cr. P.C. in which only
those offences are mentioned in which imprisonment is
for life or imprisonment for a term of not less than ten
years. According to his Lordship imprisonment for life
and imprisonment which may extend to life are different
and cannot be equated with other. For the offence under
<a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_35">Section 304B</a>, I.P.C., as discussed above, imprisonment
of not less than seven years or the imprisonment which
may extend to life is provided. It cannot be said that in
no case under <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_36">Section 304B</a>, I.P.C., imprisonment for
life can be granted and this will always be less than it. In
view of the decision of Division Bench of this Court<a href="/doc/1747003/" id="a_37">,
<a href="/doc/1747003/" id="a_38">referred to above</a></a>, for the purpose of considering <b><b>bail</b></b>
under <a href="/doc/839149/" id="a_39">Section 167(2)</a>, Cr.P.C., maximum punishment
has to be considered. For an offence under <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_40">Section
304B</a>, I.P.C., maximum imprisonment may extend for
life. I find that here for determining the question of <b><b>bail</b></b>
7 / 13
of accused in the present case was ninety days of the
period of custody and not sixty days period of custody.
For considering <b><b>bail</b></b> of accused on the ground of non
submission of chargesheet was ninety days and not sixty
days from the date from the date of remand of accused
in custody. The order granting <b><b>bail</b></b> to opposite party No.
2 by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate cannot be said to
be a proper order which cannot pass order against the
decision of the Division Bench of this Court which was
binding on it."</span>

<p data-structure="Precedent" id="p_8"> <span class="citetext" data-docid="175851730" data-sentiment="PARTY" id="span_26">Thus, it is apparent that the decision relied upon on behalf of
the accused before learned C.J.M., Jamui in case of <a href="/doc/175851730/" id="a_61">Sunil Kumar Vs. State
of Jharkhand and others</a> (Supra) has expressly been overruled by the
judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court way back in the year 2006. A Division
Bench of this Court and a Bench of Single Judge of this High Court has
already given a decision covering directly the point in issue after noticing the
decision of a Single Bench of Jharkhand High Court and has held that the in a
case under <a href="/doc/653797/" id="a_62">Section 304B</a> IPC <b><b>bail</b></b> of accused on the ground of non-
submission of charge sheet can be considered on expiry of 90 days and not 60
days from the date of remand of accused in custody. The learned C.J.M.,
Jamui has, thus, erred in law, inasmuch as he has relied upon an overruled
judgment of another High Court ignoring the law <a href="/doc/175851730/" id="a_63">laid down by</a> the Apex
Court, a Division Bench of this Court and a Bench of Single Judge of this
