IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9388 of 2009 SUJAY KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 22-Apr-09 Heard. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was dismissed earlier by order contained in Annexure-1. That order contains most of the material facts and discussions on merits of those facts and allegations and considering that aspect of the matter the prayer was refused. The contention is that in spite of being in custody since 26.2.2008 the petitioner is not getting his trial so much so that the trial has not even framed charges. One could be concerned about the plight of a person of being in custody without proper trial but one may also not overlook the conditions prevailing in our courts on account of many factors which multiply pendency of cases in which accused could be in custody. Some of the most important aspects could be that while submitting chargesheet against some of the accused persons, the police generally keeps investigation pending against the other few and that is compounded more by the lack of the 2 Judges, specially those empowered to take cognizance, to apply the ratio of the Supreme Court decision reported in AIR 1995 SC 231 in the case of State of Maharashtra Vrs. Shared Chandra Vinayak Dongre. The court is not aware as to what afflicts the present case, but the court is aware of it that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was recently rejected in Sptember,2008. Regard being had to the fact that the petitioner is said to be the assailant of the deceased. The renewal prayer is dismissed. B.Kr. (Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
