The State opposes the prayer on the ground that the petitioner has
been on the run for nearly eight years and that the victim was married to
the petitioner for slightly over a month when the incident took place.
The State produces the dying declaration where other relatives of the
petitioner have been named. However, there are two further statements of
nurses recorded under Section 161 of the Code to the effect that in course
of the victim making her dying declaration before the investigating officer,
the victim had also named her husband.

Considering the circumstances, the material on record and the fact
that the petitioner has been on the run for nearly eight years, the
petitioner cannot be excused at this stage notwithstanding the charge-
sheet having been filed.
CRM 11341 of 2018 is rejected.
A certified copy of this order be immediately made available to the
petitioner, subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
