IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15259 of 2009 RAJENDRA DAS & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 7.8.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State. The case was lodged in the year, 2003 which is Hayaghat P.S. Case No. 66 of 2003 for the offence under sections 447, 324 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code read with section 27 of the Arms Act. There is no explanation or reason as to why the petitioners surrendered only in the year, 2008 even tough both of them are the prime accused in the case. It emerges that since the petitioners have been absconders the trial has been split up and they have stalled the criminal justice system. It is also evident from the impugned order that the trial is going on. In that view of the matter enlarging the petitioners on bail may jeopardize the trial keeping their past conduct. The prayer for bail is rejected. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
