Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 05/ 19.12.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is in jail custody since 21.4.2012 in a case registered under [STATUTE] . It is apparent from perusal of the first information report that alleged occurrence took place in the year 1998 but the petitioner could be remanded in this case on 21.4.2012 and it appears that charge sheet was submitted against the petitioner showing him absconder. Although there is allegation against this petitioner that he caught hold of the deceased at the time of alleged occurrence but considering the previous conduct of the petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Kasma P.S. Case no. 11/1998 pending in the court of Adhoc Addl. Sessions Judge II, Aurangabad is, hereby, rejected. The learned trial court has reported that three prosecution witnesses have already been examined. The learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial of the petitioner as early as possible. It is made clear that if trial of the petitioner is not concluded within nine months from the date of receipt of this order, petitioner Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31359 of 2012 (5) dt.19-12-2012 may renew his prayer for bail before the learned trial court itself. Shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
