IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No. 13478 of 2011 Upendra Rai @ B.P.L. Yadav, S/o Late Ram Narayan Rai. Versus The State of Bihar ------------------- 04. 23.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner was refused bail by order dated 13.04.2010 since the victim had named the petitioner in his statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. The prayer for bail has been renewed on the ground of undue delay in trial. When a report was called for from the Magistrate concerned as to why so much delay in furnishing police papers to the accused persons it transpired that the petitioner had been remanded to Phulwarisharif Jail from Bhojpur Jail on account of which the police papers could not be furnished on time. Since the delay is accordingly attributable to the processes of the Court, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. The Trial Court is directed to immediately frame charges and ensure that the trial be completed within a period of nine months from the date of appearance of the first witness. 2 The Trial Court is directed to send a list of witnesses fixing specific dates to the S.P. concerned along with the copy of this order who will ensure the attendance of the witnesses on the said dates so that there is no further delay in trial. It is made clear that the petitioner is not entitled to bail even if trial is not concluded within a period of nine months. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
