IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13765 of 2009 PAPPU MIAN @ PAPPU @ MUMTAZ @ MUMTAZ AHMAD Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 05-10-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Petitioner is in custody in relation to Thakurganj (Powakhali) P.S. Case No. 109 of 2008 which was registered under section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. During the course of investigation, after the incident, many witnesses and villagers of the vicinity had identified the petitioner as being involved in the said crime. It has also been affirmed during the course of investigation that there are large number of cases pending against the petitioner , he is a veteran criminal and no one dare speak against him. Submission of the counsel for the petitioner is that yet another co-accused though identified in the T.I.Parade has been enlarged on bail by this Court but there is nothing to indicate in that order that he is also involved in as many cases and serious offences as registered against the present petitioner . Enlarging the petitioner on bail in above circumstance and material will not be in the interest of the society. Time has come when the trial of the case is pending against the petitioner should be expedited. The prayer for bail is rejected. ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J ) BTiwary/
