IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15658 of 2010 BRAJESH KR.SINGH @ BRAJESH SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 7.7.2010. Heard. The renewal prayer is made on the ground that the petitioner is in custody for over four years. The case is of kidnapping and the petitioner is named in statement of the victim as one of his kidnappers. That being the factual position, the court is not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail, specially when it appears that the trial Judge has recorded the evidence of seven witnesses out of 11 named in the chargesheet. It is hereby ordered that the remaining witnesses of Sessions Trial No.285 of 2007 arising out of Darbhanga Sadar P.S.Case No.186 of 2006 shall be produced by the officer-in-charge of that police station within a period of three months from the date a copy of the order is received by the Superintendent of Police, Darbhanga. The court below shall record the evidence of witnesses during that period or if it concludes the recording of the evidence before that period it will proceed to take defence evidence within the - 2 - above period itself and proceed to hear argument and dispose of the case. At any rate, the case must be disposed of in five months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Let a copy of this order be forwarded also to the Superintendent of Police, Darbhanga who shall ensure that the present order is executed in letter and spirit and the trial is concluded within the time frame set down by this Court, else the court below shall be free to grant bail to the petitioner on a bond to his own satisfaction, i.e., 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Darbhanga.
