Petitioner/s Versus The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 3 07-09-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail in a case under [STATUTE] . The occurrence took place due to closing of the drainage. There is specific allegation of assault against the petitioner on the head of the victim by lathi by which she succumbed to injury. Hence, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial for early disposal of the case preferably within six months and if the trial is not concluded within six months then the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
