IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.8568 of 2011 Kanhaiya Prasad Versus The State Of Bihar ------------------- 04/ 21.12.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by an order dated 03.12.2009, passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 28155 of 2009 and the petitioner was given opportunity to renew his prayer for bail after completing further judicial custody for a period of one year. Counsel for both the parties agree that the trial has now progressed to a very advanced stage and that the prosecution has already closed his evidence, whereafter examination of accused-petitioner and others has already been made under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. That being so, when the fact that the end of the trial of the petitioner is well in sight, this Court would not now like to go into the question of grant of bail to the petitioner, inasmuch as, if the petitioner wants to expedite the trial, he can do so by producing his defence witnesses. If the petitioner would produce his defence 2 witnesses within a reasonable time the trial court will make its errors to conclude the trial expeditiously preferably within a period of four months from the date of producing the last defence witness by the accused persons including the petitioner. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is dismissed. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
