Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 09.05.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under [STATUTE] . The petitioner was refused bail by order dated 14.03.2011. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground of undue delay in trial. A report was called for from the ACJM, Danapur as to why till date the case has not been committed to the Court of Sessions. The report reveals that it is on account of non-production of the petitioner from jail custody that the case could not be committed to the Court of Sessions. In view of such report, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
