IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.32734 of 2011 Sanjay Singh son of Bhrigunath Singh, resident of village- Pakri, P.S.- Mohammadpur, District- Gopalganj …Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar …OP ---------------------------------- 3/ 22.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 395 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering that the petitioner’s name transpired way back in the year 2008 in the confessional statement of the co- accused and steps were taken for his arrest but he kept absconding for number of years even though trial of the co-accused was held, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial in view of the serious nature of the offence. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
