Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 22.08.2012 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 which reveals that out of eight witnesses four have been examined. In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected with a direction to the Trial Court to send a list of the witnesses fixing specific dates for production of the witnesses along with a copy of this order to the Superintendent of Police, Buxar who shall ensure production of the witnesses on the date so fixed by the Trial Court so that there is no further delay in trial.
