Krishna Prasad Singh, Senior Advocate and Sanjay Kumar Sinha, Advocate. For the State : Mr. R.B. Roy ‘Raman’, A.P.P. ---------- 2. 14.5.2009. This is the second attempt by petitioner Md. Shahjada for bail after his earlier foray was dismissed vide order dated 21.5.2008 passed in Criminal Misc. No.13348 of 2008. However, in the said order the learned court below was directed to take up the trial of the petitioner on priority basis and conclude the same as early as possible. In the said order liberty was also given to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail if the case was not disposed of within a period of nine months. Submission on behalf of the petitioner by placing reliance on the entire ordersheet of the court below appended to the application is that notwithstanding the specific direction of this Court no effective progress has been made in the case and as a matter of fact although the accused were present in court, no witness has been examined in this case till now notwithstanding the fact that all the witnesses are official witnesses. From a perusal of the ordersheet, it appears that the prosecution is conducting the case in a very casual manner and the trial was being adjourned from date to date in a routine manner due to - 2 - the non appearance of the witnesses. In the facts and the circumstances, the petitioner, Md. Shahjada, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge- IX, Patna in connection with Special Case No.72 of 2006 arising out of Alamganj P.S.
