IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13366 of 2008 SANJAY RAI @ SANJAY RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 17.07.2008 Regard being had to the facts of the case, the petition appears meritless. However, the learned Judge holding trial has reported about non-cooperation of the prosecution in production of the witnesses. I could refer AIR 2002 SC 270 Shailendra Kumar Vs. State of Bihar and the provision of Section 170(2) Cr.P.C. to him and request him to issue notice to the Officer-in-charge of the police station in the light of the above judgment of the Apex Court and the provision of the Code that he will remain present with the witnesses on dates of hearing fixed by the learned Judge. The learned Judge knows as to what to pull up the Officer-in-charge if he does not comply with his directions. The trial Judge has fixed six months time for himself for conclusion of the trial and that time frame appears reasonable and that would be counted from the date of receipt of the present order or the production of the same.
