IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No. 22550 of 2011 Kudo Singh @ Gudo Singh @ Fudo Singh @ Guto Singh, S/o Late Punit Singh. Versus The State of Bihar -------------- 03. 22.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 of the Arms Act. The petitioner was refused bail by order dated 13.08.2010 since he was the main assailant. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground that there is undue delay in trial. When a report was called for from the Trial Court it appears that the Office Clerk is responsible for delaying the trial in not issuing summons to the witnesses. In the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. The District and Sessions Judge, Lakhisarai is directed to take appropriate action in connection with S.C. No. 339/10 arising out of Lakhisarai (Pipariya P.S. Case No. 130/2009) against the concerned clerk who had not complied with the orders for issuing the summons to the witnesses. He will also take appropriate steps as 2 necessary to ensure that the office clerks comply with the orders of the Court when such orders are passed and in case they fail to do so appropriate action may be taken against them. In the meanwhile, the Trial Court is directed to send a list of witnesses fixing specific dates to the S.P. concerned along with the copy of this order who will ensure the attendance of the witnesses on the said dates so that there is no further delay in trial.
