IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16782 of 2010 PAWAN KUMAR RAI s/o Chhabi Rai, resident of village- Habaspur, P.S. Shakampur, District- Patna. Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 5 2.2.2011 The petitioner is the husband and is an accused in Chapra Muffasil (Khaira ) P.S.Case no. 30 of 2006, which was lodged in the year 2005. Charge sheet already submitted showing all accused persons absconders. Ultimately, the petitioner was taken into custody only after four years i.e. in the year 2009. The defence of the petitioner is that , in fact, the girl, who happens to be his wife has been kidnapped. There was a Panchayati. The father of the petitioner had also lodged a complaint in that regard. The girl unfortunately is still traceless. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. However, the learned Additional Sessions Judge-IV, Saran at Chapra is directed to take all effective and expeditious steps with the co-operation of the petitioner to conclude the trial within a year. If the trial is not concluded within a period of one year, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
