IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3954 of 2011 SANJAY KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 27.04.2011. Heard. The prayer for bail of this petitioner was rejected by this Court in various petitions which are annexed as Annexures appearing at pages-24 onwards. Against the rejection order, the petitioner approached the Apex Court in S.L.A.(Cr.)No.3030 of 2009 as may appear from order dated 1.5.2009, the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the petition. The contention of the petitioner is that the report of the learned trial Judge that 3-4 months may be taken in concluding the trial may not be a reasonable time frame inasmuch as there are 15 witnesses out of whom only two have been produced by the prosecution. It was contended further that the two witnesses who were examined in the trial were not examined by the Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Presiding Officer, Patna rather they had been examined by the Magistrate while committing the case to the 2 court of Sessions. As such, the Additional Sessions Judge shall have to take up the exercise over and again on production of the witnesses and recording their depositions. May be that the contentions of the learned senior counsel are true, but when the court itself has fixed a time for 3-4 months, this court thinks it reasonably appropriate to allow it to take up the exercise of production of witnesses as also of recording their depositions. What this court further proposes to do is that the trial court direct the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to ensure that the witnesses who are cited in the chargesheet of Gandhi Maidan P.S.Case No.68 of 2007 are regularly produced on day to day basis and for that the officer-in- charge of the said police station or any other responsible officer may be entrusted to do the needful so that the witnesses are produced on regular basis. Let a copy of the order be forwarded to the Joint Registrar, Fast Track Cell, who shall ensure by liasioning with the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna that witnesses are regularly produced. The court 3 below shall give priority to the trial of Sessions Trial No.1452 of 2010 and if any witness is present he shall not hear any other case except the present case so that the trial is concluded within the stipulated period. With the above direction, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
