Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR .………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 09.09.2009 Heard Mr. L.K. Sharma, learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned APP appearing on behalf of the State. Prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected earlier vide Cr. Misc. No.- 31377 of 2008 dated 26.09.2008 considering the fact that ransom amount was demanded from the mobile of the petitioner. Submission is that the petitioner is in custody since 24.02.2008 and the report receipt does not say about any substantial progress in the trial. It appears that charges have been framed and processes for examination of the witnesses have already been commenced. Considering this, presently I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail in the court below after examination of the informant. kksinha/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
