IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29679 of 2010 PRAMOD MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 22.9.2010. Heard. Regard being had to the facts which have been detailed by me in my order dated 21.10.2008 passed in Cr.Misc.No.42869 of 2008, I am not inclined to direct the release of the above named petitioner on bail. Petition is dismissed. The trial Judge has made a report which appears at flag-A and as per the same the informant and other witnesses have been arrayed as an accused in another case for murder and as such they are absconding. The trial Judge has not given the detail of that case but the report has mentioned that the officer-in-charge of Bhadaur police station has made a report to him about the abscondence of the informant and other witnesses. It was informed during the hearing of the present petition that the concerned case was registered also in the year 2007. Let the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna be directed to ensure that the informant and other witnesses of Bhadaur P.S.Case No.44 of 2007 are traced out even if they are absconding in a particular case and are produced before the Additional Sessions Judge-II, Barh in Sessions Trial No.487 of 2008. The court believes that in case of absconding 2 witnesses, who are accused in any murder case being arrested, they shall be remanded to custody and the trial Judge shall get them produced so as to concluding the trial of the case in a period of nine months from the date he receives the copy of the present order.
