IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12909 of 2011 Premendra Singh @ Parmendra Kumar Singh son of Late Awadhesh Singh, Resident of village Bela,P.S.Atri, District Gaya Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 03/ 13.07.2011 Heard Mrs. Soni Srivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in Hilsa (Karai) P.S.Case No. 35 of 2003 (Sessions Trial No. 529 of 2007). The prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected earlier on different occasions. The report regarding stage of trial called for by order dated 04.05.2011 has been received, from which it appears that only one witness has been examined and non-bailable warrant of arrest has been issued against the informant and other prosecution witnesses. Attention has been drawn by learned counsel for the petitioner towards the order dated 23.6.2010 by which the petitioner’s prayer for bail was rejected as at that time only one witness was examined. It appears that the trial court has taken effective steps to procure the 2 attendance of the prosecution witnesses. So far the allegation against the petitioner is concerned, he is the shooter of the deceased. Considering this, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected. Considering the allegation and the report of the trial court, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, the court below will expedite the trial. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
