IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25520 of 2009 RAM DARSHAN RAI S/O LATE RAM PRAVESH RAI, R/O VILLAGE- BARKA CHANDI, P.S.- KOILWAR, DISTRICT- BHOJPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 19/08/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 6.12.2007 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 47157 of 2007. According to the FIR, the petitioner is the assailant of the deceased. Grievance of the petitioner is that the trial is not being concluded despite the fact that he is in custody since 19.10.2006. Out of 15 witnesses only three have been examined. Last witness has been examined on 20th February, 2008 and after that there is no progress. I see no reason to differ with the earlier order. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
