Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.17342 of 2012 ====================================================== Prem Bhushan Kumar @ Basiya @ Ajay Kumar, S/o Dinesh Poddar, resident of village-Harpur, P.S.-Barauni, District-Begusarai. .... .... Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar ... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 25-04-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The case is under [STATUTE] in which the petitioner was earlier granted bail but due to lack of pairvi, his bail bonds got cancelled on 30.5.2011. The order of the trial court shows that deliberately the petitioner makes himself absent, as a result of which the charge could not be framed till date. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present and accordingly, the same is dismissed. However, he may renew his prayer for bail, once the charges are framed in the court below. At this stage, it is stated that all the accused persons are not appearing in the trial, as a result of which, the framing of charge is getting delayed. The trial court would look into the matter and if, necessary would pass appropriate orders in this regard. Sanjeet/- (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J)
