IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35458 of 2008 LALA AJAY KUMAR SINHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 30.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned AP.P. for the State. A huge amount of public money has been swindled in which petitioner had played a prominent role. The matter relates to the year 2004, but the petitioner was absconding all along. It is only recently that he has surrendered and chargesheet had been filed against him and he was shown as an absconder. Looking at the seriousness of the crime where Rs. 55 Lakhs of public money has been siphoned and the petitioner is said to have played a major role as well as was the master mind coupled with the fact that the matter relates to the year 2004 and it is only now he has surrendered before the court, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail, since it will further delay trial of the case. Let the trial be expedited. Rajeev/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
