IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35634 of 2010 RADHESHYAM NAU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 07.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application has been filed on behalf of the petitioner in connection with S. Tr. No. 417A/86, arising out of Sasaram P.S. Case No. 195/84 for the offence under sections 399, 402, 307, 324, 332, 353 of the Indian Penal Code and 25(A), 27 and 35 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C. IIIrd, Rohtas at Sasaram. In this 17 years old case petitioner is one of the named accused and declared absconder as early as in the year 1987 causing separation of the case. However, in the last eleven years he is in custody and trial has already commenced. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer of regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected and court below is further directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and if trial is concluded within two years of custody of the petitioner, he shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the trial court who shall consider the prayer without being prejudiced of the instant order.
