IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44351 of 2010 RAJESH MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 16.3.2011. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State and the learned counsel for the informant. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Kanti P.S.Case No.142 of 2008 for the offences punishable under sections 147,148, 149, 323, 324, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner has specifically been alleged to have assaulted the deceased Yogendra Mahto on his head by means of Bhujali. The prayer of this petitioner was earlier twice rejected by this court vide order dated 16.10.2009 and 18.5.2010 passed in Cr.Misc.No.33942 of 2009 and Cr.Misc.No.17074 of 2010 respectively. A report was called for from the trial court and the learned Sessions Judge has informed that the examination of the witnesses is under way and the trial is likely to be concluded within next six 2 months. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer of the petitioner and the same is rejected. The petitioner, however, may renew his prayer, in case the trial is not concluded within next nine months. ahk (Jyoti Saran, J)
