IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26144 of 2008 JYOTIK SAHANI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 17-9-2008 Naresh Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner’s prayer for bail has been rejected earlier on account of the fact that he could be arrested only about four years of lodging of the F.I.R. It has been submitted that now the trial has commenced and out of three witnesses examined by the prosecution, P.W.3, the informant who is cousin brother of the deceased lady, has been declared hostile. Considering all the facts and circumstances and the fact that trial has already made a considerable progress, the prayer of the petitioner for bail is again rejected. It is expected that the trial shall conclude within six months. In case the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period of six months, for no fault of the petitioner, then he may renew his prayer for bail. (Shiva Kirti Singh,J)
