IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10782 of 2010 AKHILESH RAI SON OF LATE SHIVJI RAI RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BARUNA,P.S.BIKRAMGANJ,DISTTT.ROHTAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR For the petitioner : Mr.Bikramadeo Singh For the State : Mr.Addl.P.P. ----------- 03/ 07.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in Sessions Trial No. 23 of 2006 arising out of Bikramganj P.S.Case No. 26 of 2005. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected four times by this Court. This is the fifth attempt. The petitioner has been described as assailant of the deceased. By order dated 12.05.2010 a report regarding stage of the trial was called for which has been received. From the report it appears that out of eight prosecution witnesses, six have been examined. Considering the report, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, considering the period of detention of the petitioner i.e. since 15.03.2005, the trial court is directed to 2 expedite the trial and try its best to conclude the same within six months from the date of receipt of this order. If within that period, the trial is not concluded, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the trial court. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
