Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.6412 of 2012 ====================================================== Biren@Birendra Yadav, Son of Late Kailash Bihari Yadav. .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AKHILESH CHANDRA ORAL ORDER 5 16-07-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, who is armed with carbon/xerox copy of the case diary. The petitioner, who is languishing in custody, seeks bail in a case registered under [STATUTE] and Section 27 of the Arms Act, is one of the named accused in this case and facing trial which had to be separated from original due to abstention of petitioner. Submission is of false implication and under almost similarly situated circumstance, other co-accused have been released on bail earlier after serving shorter period of detention. The report received from the trial court indicates that out of total eleven witnesses, seven have already been examined and only four remains, though, trial court expect its disposal within eight months, but the same appears exorbitant. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, for the present, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for regular bail of the above named petitioner, in connection with Murliganj P.S. Case No. 13/2006, pending in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhepura, is hereby, refused. Simultaneously, the trial Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6412 of 2012 (5) dt.16-07-2012 2 / 2 2 court is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and preferably conclude the same within four months from the date of communication of the order. As prayed for on behalf of the petitioner, let this order be communicated through FAX at the cost of the petitioner. Praveen-II/- (Akhilesh Chandra, J)
