IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36371 of 2008 YOGI SINGH, Son of Sukhi Singh, Resident of Village- Walipur, P.S.- Piparia (Lakhisarai), District- Lakhisarai :----- Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR:------Opposite Party ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ram Das Singh, Advocate. For the Opposite Party : Mr. Nitya Nand Tiwari, A.P.P. ===== 4. 19.12.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 363 and 144 of the Penal Code and is named in the First Information Report. He appears to have absconded for sufficiently long time and was ultimately arrested on 16.2.2008. Meanwhile, others named in the First Information Report were tried and acquitted. Petitioner could not avail of the trial as he remained absconding earlier. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected, however, with direction to the trial court (Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C.-1, Lakhisarai) to proceed with the trial (Sessions Case No. 577(A)/1990, arising out of Lakhisarai P.S.Case No. 37 of 1990) and conclude the same as early as possible, in any case within one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
