IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6540 of 2011 Radhey Shyam Thakur, S/O-Late Sukhdev Thakur Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 06 29.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Although, petitioner is in jail custody since the year 2005 but it appears from the case diary and the submission of the parties that when victim was recovered he clearly stated about the involvement of the petitioner in the alleged crime. Apart from this, petitioner carries criminal antecedent of several cases and it appears that he is a habitual criminal. Therefore, considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 269 of 2004 arising out of Nanpur P.S. Case No. 45 of 1995 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-II, Sitamarhi, stands rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and take steps to conclude the same as early as possible. SHAHZAD ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
