IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23476 of 2010 1. HARIHAR YADAV S/O SHEORAJ YADAV 2. SUKAI YADAV S/O TULSI YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 14.07.2010 Heard both sides. Nobody appears on behalf of the State. This is an application renewing prayer for bail in the light of observation made by this Court by order dated 31.07.2009 (Annexure-1). Considering the allegation and the fact that petitioners remained absconder for over a decade, their prayer for bail was refused. They, however, granted liberty to renew prayer for bail in the Court below itself if the trial does not record substantial progress. Petitioners have, thus, moved the Court below for bail which was considered and rejected on 29.04.2010. Learned Court below has recorded in detail the reasons for delay in disposal of the case. It appears that one of the accuseds who seems to be a veteran criminal and facing trial at various places, the charges could not be framed. Petitioners are said to be in custody since 29.07.2008. It appears from the impugned order that both the petitioners have murky past. Taking all aspects into consideration, this Court is not inclined to release them on bail. Prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. They are, however, granted liberty to renew prayer for bail after 09 months from the date of receipt/communication of a 2 copy of this order in the Court below if the trial is not concluded by examining all the prosecution witnesses.
