IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19012 of 2011 Vijay Dhari Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 2 29.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the state. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered for an offence under section-302 of the Indian Penal Code and he is languishing in jail custody since 09.06.2009. It would appear from perusal of the first information report that the petitioner is said to be main assailant and the informant who was wife of the petitioner, specifically stated that the petitioner had fired on her. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that charges were framed against the petitioner on 14.10.2009 but uptill now, not a single prosecution witness has been examined. Taking into consideration the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submission of the parties, I do not feel it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Sarmera P.S. Case No. 26 of 2008 corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 380 of 2009 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No.-V ), Nalanda at Bihar Sharif, stands rejected. 2 However, the learned Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No.-V ), Nalanda at Bihar Sharif is , hereby, directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and dispose of the same, preferably within nine months from the date of receipt of the order.
