IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41438 of 2010 Md. Ajmat @ Kalim, son of Md. Shamshuddin, Resident of Village Piru Bigha, P.S. Chandauti (Chakand), Distt. Gaya. ------ Petitioner Versus State of Bihar ----- Opp. Party ----------- 2 12.01.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and taking into account that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on merit by an order dated 14.12.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 28436 of 2009, this Court is not inclined to re-consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner on merit. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that only three witnesses have been examined till date and the end of the trial is nowhere in sight. This Court, having taken into consideration the aforementioned submissions, would direct the trial court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is concluded expeditiously preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In the event the trial of the petitioner would not be concluded in the aforementioned 2 period, he will have a liberty to move the trial court, which then would record reasons for not concluding the trial. Thereafter, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
