IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17661 of 2011 BOTAL MANDAL, S/o Late Sahdeo Mandal, Resident of Village – Bhouwa Prawal Jangal Tola, P.S. - Rupauli, O.P. - Mohanpur, District – Purnia. ....... Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ...... Opposite Party ----------- 2 22.06.2011 Heard Sri Pankaj Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Lalan Kumar, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. This is the third attempt for grant of bail. Earlier vide Cr. Misc. No. 371 of 2010 and Cr. Misc. No. 26206 of 2010 prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 04.03.2010 and 21.07.2010 respectively. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although prosecution evidence has already been completed none of the witnesses have supported the prosecution case. Accordingly, it was prayed to extend the privilege of bail. From the impugned order it appears that defence evidence is going on. The court is of the opinion that since prosecution evidence has already closed and defence case is going on, this is not the stage for extending the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail stands again rejected. It is expected that Trial Court will proceed with the case expeditiously, so that, trial may come to an end without unnecessary delay. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
