IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22115 of 2009 RUNNI YADAV,son of Chandar Yadav, resident of village Barharwa (Bandh) P.S. Malahi, District East Champaran ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ... Opp. Party ----------- 3 10.2.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Nobody appears on behalf of the State. It has been submitted that earlier petitioner’s prayer for bail was rejected on 7.4.2006 under the impression that trial was to conclude within a month but in fact, the report regarding stage of the trial did not relate to the trial of the petitioner but to trial of other co-accused and now the petitioner has remained in custody for more than six years. The report of the trial court shows that only one witness was examined in the trial long back in May 2005 and thereafter the trial has not made any progress. It appears that some of the original papers like case diary, have been sent to this Court in connection with Cr.Appeal No.472/06 (DB) and it is also delaying the trial. The trial court i.e. Additional Sessions Judge FTC I, Motihari is directed to expedite Sessions Trial 2 No.277 of 2005 so as to conclude the same within a period of one year. He shall take necessary steps and if required, call for the original case diary form this Court. In view of long period of custody, the prayer of the petitioner for bail is allowed. Let petitioner, Runni Yadav, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial court i.e. Addl. Sessions Judge, FTC 1, Motihari in connection with Turkaulia Ps Case No.65/2003 (S.Tr.No.277/2005). (Shiva Kirti Singh,J.) sk
