Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.18080 of 2012 ====================================================== Jainendra Choudhary @ Bhagat @ Master Saheb, Son of Mahesh Choudhary. .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AKHILESH CHANDRA ORAL ORDER 3 25-06-2012 Perused the report received from the trial court. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner, who is languishing in custody, seeks bail in a case registered under [STATUTE] , is solitary named accused in this case relating to killing of minor girl. Earlier, the trial was held up apparently on the plea of petitioner being mentally ill, but there is nothing of kind as is evident from the report of the trial court and trial may be expedited. 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 S.Tr. No. 504/2007 arising out of Naurangia P.S. Case No. 01/2007, pending in the court of learned 1st A.D.J., Bagaha, West Champaran, is hereby, refused. Simultaneously, the trial court is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and avoid undue delay and adjournments and preferably conclude the same within six months even proceeding on day to day basis.
