IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10574 of 2011 DEO SHARAN YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 04.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. There is specific allegation against the petitioner that he opened fire on deceased, Bhagirath Yadav. The sole contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is languishing in jail custody since 09.03.2007 and some co-accused persons have already been granted privilege of bail. The impugned order of learned court below reveals that trial of the petitioner has already begun and the steps have already been taken to procure the attendance of prosecution witnesses. Taking into consideration the above said facts and circumstances; I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Sessions Trial No. 253 of 2007 arising out of Sugauli P.S. Case No. 146 of 2004 stands rejected. However, the learned trial court shall expedite the trial of the petitioner. AKV/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
