Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 04. 17.10.2012 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 17.10.2011 considering the merits of the case. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground that the case has not even been committed to the Court of Sessions. A report was called from the concerned Magistrate who has reported that the case was committed on 02.06.2012. 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 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, Bhojpur at Ara 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.
