IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.12209 of 2012 ====================================================== 1. Rajesh Kumar Singh @ Pinku Singh S/o Sri Rajdeo Singh R/o Vill- Sultanpur, Jarlaha Tola, P.S.Mohiuddin Nagar, Distt-Samastipur .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Rajesh Kumar, Advocate Mr. Rana Pratap Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. R.B. Roy ‘Raman’, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 4. 1.8.2012 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in Laheri P.S. case No.105 of 2005 (S.T.No.137 of 2011) instituted for the offence [STATUTE] ail by an order dated 21.9.2010 on account of the materials transpired against the petitioner. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground of undue delay in trial. A report had been called for from the Trial Court which revealed that the Petitioner had been lodged in Hajipur Jail. Thereafter this Court called for a report from the Hajipur Jail Superintendent as Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.12209 of 2012 (4) dt.01-08-2012 2 to whether it was feasible to transfer the Petitioner to Nalanda during the pendency of the trial at Hajipur. A report has been received from the Hajipur Court that the Petitioner has been acquitted by the said Court and, therefore, in all probability by now he is in Nalanda and facing trial in the present case. In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. As already observed earlier, the Trial Court (2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Nalanda at Biharsharif) is directed to expedite the trial and send a list of the witnesses fixing specific dates for production of the witnesses along with a copy of this order to the S.P., Nalanda at Biharsharif and the S.P., Nalanda at Biharsharif is directed to ensure production of the witnesses on the date so fixed by the Trial Court so that there is no further delay in trial.
