IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38994 of 2010 ASHOK PASWAN, son of late Sheetal Paswan resident of village- Kashipur, Police Station- Samastipur, District-Samastipur… …Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR THRU.VIGILANCE.. …Opp. Party. ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Birendra Kumar Singh, Advocate. For the Vigilance: Mr. Arvind Kumar Spl. O.P./Vigilance. ……………………. 5 02.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Vigilance Investigation Bureau and also perused the report kept at Flags A, B, C, D and E. The concerned court has informed that delay in framing of charge has occurred due to the reason that police paper could only be supplied by the Vigilance Department on 25.10.2010. Petitioner has annexed the order-sheet of the case also which shows that several adjournments have been granted on account of the fact that police paper has not been supplied. It appears from the report that four witnesses have been examined and the trial court has opined that there is likelihood that the trial would be concluded within four months. Petitioner’s prayer for bail has earlier been rejected vide order dated 07.04.2010 in Cr. Misc. No.5739 2 of 2010 (Annexure-1). As per the allegation, the petitioner was caught red handed along with Rs.76,000/- while accepting the bribe money. No good and fresh ground could be made out for grant of bail. As a result, this application is dismissed for the present. However, let the trial be concluded as expeditiously as possible preferably within four months. The petitioner, if so advised, shall be at liberty to renew his payer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within four months. Sanjay-II (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
