IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30702 of 2010 PAPPU KUMAR @ PAPPU KUMAR SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR -------- 04/ 11.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Raxaul P.S. Case no. 157/2006 initially, registered under sections 341, 323, 452, 307, 120B, 326 of the IPC and 27 of the Arms Act but subsequently, converted into section 302 of the IPC. Although the petitioner is not named in the FIR but during the course of investigation his name surfaced in this case and he was put on TI Parade. Two witnesses, staff of the informant, identified the petitioner as assailant. Para 9 of this bail petition reveals that the petitioner has criminal antecedent. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. However, the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is in jail custody since 2.12.2006. In the aforesaid circumstances, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial of petitioner within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
