IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.25181 of 2009 BALIRAM HARIZAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 15.9.2009 Learned senior counsel submits that the trial of the other accused is going on. However, he submits that since the petitioner was out of State earning his livelihood he was not arrested and therefore, the petitioner was not put on trial. Subsequently he surrendered on 5.12.2008. He submits that now after surrender of the petitioner the trial of the petitioner also may be directed to be proceeded expeditiously. He submits that commitment of the case has not been made and therefore, trial has not commenced as yet although the trial of other accused persons is at the verge of conclusion. Petitioner is the assailant and there is specific allegation against him of firing at one of the deceased. Therefore, this court is not inclined to grant bail at this stage. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the court below is directed to take early steps for commitment of the case for trial and conclusion of the trial. In case the trial is not concluded within one year from today the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. (J.N. Singh, J) M.Rahman
