IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.34403 of 2010 MANHAR RAM @ MANOHAR RAM, son of late Mahabir Ram, resident of Mohalla- Kumhartoli, Police Station- Kankarbagh, District- Patna ...Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …OP ----------- 2/ 08.10.2010 Heard the parties. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 6.8.2010 by which the Additional Sessions Judge, III, Patna, in Sessions Trial No.708 of 2000 has disallowed the prayer of the petitioner for recall of P.W. 1, 7 and 8. The prayer has been disallowed on the ground that these three witnesses were examined on 21st July, 2003, 21st February, 2007 and 19th September, 2007 respectively and, therefore, the application has been filed only to delay the trial. It has been submitted that on the prayer of the prosecution once the case was re-opened, equal opportunity should be given to the defence in the matter. I am unable to appreciate this contention. The application is dismissed. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it positively within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
