Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 25.07.2012 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 on two earlier occasions. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground of undue delay in trial. A report was called for from the Trial Court as to why till date charges were not framed. It is reported that it could not be framed on account of non-receipt of original copy of the case diary from the S.P. Vaishali at Hajipur. Now charges have been framed on 21.05.2012. In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and not unnecessary adjourn the matter.
