IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.27819 of 2011 Rabindra Singh @ Sadhu Singh, Son of Late Kailash Singh, resident of Village Simari, P.S. Palanwa, District East Champaran. Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 2. 24.8.2011. Heard Shri Ansul, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Pradip Narayan Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor. This is the third attempt for grant of bail. Firstly on 11.3.2010, keeping in view that charge was already framed and case was fixed for evidence, without going into the merit of the case, prayer for bail was rejected. While rejecting the prayer for bail, this Court had directed the trial court to expedite the trial and conclude the same expeditiously. Again petitioner approached this Court for grant of bail vide Cr. Misc. No.36360 of 2010, which was dismissed on 30.9.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after first order i.e. order dated 11.3.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No.3549 of 2010, eight witnesses were examined on behalf of the prosecution. 2 However, none of the prosecution witnesses have supported the prosecution case. Last witness i.e. P.W.8 was examined on 8.7.2010 i.e. before the order passed by this Court rejecting prayer for bail of the petitioner on second occasion on 30.9.2010. It was submitted that thereafter, none of the witnesses have been examined and petitioner is continuing in jail since 15.6.2009. In view of the fact that no progress has taken place in the trial after rejection of bail on second occasion even after expiry of almost about one year, it appears that prosecution is not interested in early conclusion of the case. The petitioner cannot be detained in custody for indefinite period. Let the petitioner above named be enlarged on bail on his furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of 1st Additional Sessions Judge, East Champaran at Motihari in connection with N.D.P.S. Case No.91 of 2002 arising out of Palanwa P.S. Case 3 No.92 of 2002. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
