IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2684 of 2010 SHYAM NATH THAKUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 13.5.2010. Heard. Regard being had to the earlier rejection order and the facts stated therein, the court is still not inclined to direct the release of the above named petitioner on bail specially in the light of the report of the learned trial Court that the prosecutor has under taken to assist the court in concluding the trial in four months time. The court believes that it may not be a possibility because the charges were framed on 5.1.2010 and during the period of four months in between the framing of charges and making the report no witness appears examined by the trial court. The trial court appears over lenient to the prosecutor and he is granting unnecessary adjournments without appreciable reasons. This appears from the fact that the trial court is not taking any step by seeking the appearance of the head of the department of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence in his court by issuing notice to him for his appearance and directing him to produce witnesses, like the complainant and other officers who were assisting - 2 - him in the search and seizure of the contraband substance. I direct the head of the department of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, Ist Floor, Customs Building, Imlichatti, Muzaffarpur-842001 to produce all the witnesses in connection with DRI Case No.17 of 2004 presently pending before Additional Sessions Judge-V, Muzaffarpur. For the above purposes the trial Judge shall issue a list of witnesses with the date/dates on which they are required to be produced before him for their evidence and that shall be honoured and obeyed strictly. It is expected that the trial shall be concluded within a period of four months from the date on which a copy of this order is either received or is produced before the learned trial Judge. In case this order is not complied with by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, the court below shall report the matter to this court so that necessary contempt actions may be initiated against them. Petition is dismissed with the above observations. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
