IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10503 of 2008 BINAY KUMAR THAKUR Versus UNION OF INDIA ----------- 4 5.5.2008 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the Union of India. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier twice rejected and the last one was rejected by this court by order dated 13.11.2007 passed in Cr.Misc.No.39714 of 2007 with an observation that if there is no substantial progress in the trial within a period of three months from that date, he may renew his prayer for bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 8.10.2004 and till date no witness has been examined in the trial. In support of his contention, he has filed certified copy of the entire order sheet. Learned counsel for the Union of India prays some time by way of last indulgence to conclude the trial expeditiously as possible. Having heard counsel for the parties, this court is inclined to grant one more indulgence to the Union of India to conclude the trial of the petitioner within a period of four months from today. In case if the same is not concluded within that time, it will be open to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this application stands disposed of. (S.P.Singh,J) - 2 -
