IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16529 of 2009 Abhay Kumar Sinha, son of Late Jaimangal Prasad Sinha, resident of Village & P.O.-Naura, P.S.- Saraiya, District-Muzaffarpur. At present Residing at Patliputra Nehru Nagar in front of Forest Department’s Office at Patna. –Petitioner. VERSUS The State of Bihar throughVigilance Department -Opposite Party. ----------- 02 21.05.2009 The petitioner has been taken into custody on 27.03.2009 in a trap case for allegedly accepting bribe. Vigilance P.S. Case No. 30 of 2009 has accordingly been instituted giving rise to Special Case No. 22 of 2009 before the Special Judge, Vigilance at Patna under various Sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act. Having heard the matter at length, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail, in view of the allegations as made. In my view, there are very few witnesses in such a case, who all are available to the investigating agency. The matter being fresh, it is expected that the investigating agency would immediately conclude the investigation and if found proper submit charge sheet and press for expeditious trial, while the matter is still fresh with the witnesses of prosecution efforts must be made to conclude investigation at the earliest and submit charge sheet. On charge sheet being submitted, the trial Court will take all steps for expeditious trial and see that the trial is concluded within six months. If the trial is not concluded within six months, subject to petitioner fully cooperating, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail 2 before the trial Court. Trial Court while considering the bail application also record reasons of delay in not concluding the trial within six months. With these observations, this application is dismissed.
