Girdhari Jha Son of Late Nagendra Jha Resident Of Village- Bichakari, P.S.- Katoria, District- Banka. .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State of Bihar. .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 03. 21.03.2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under [STATUTE] . In view of the Trial Court report that the trial has started and two witnesses have been examined, I am not inclined to review the earlier order dated 04.08.2011 by which the petitioner was refused bail on merit. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. The Trial Court is directed to send a list of witnesses fixing specific dates to the S.P. concerned along with the copy of this order who will ensure the attendance of the witnesses on the said dates so that there is no further delay in trial.
