IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8488 of 2009 PAWAN KUMAR SAHU @ PAWAN KUMAR SAH son of Sri Sant Lal Sah, resident of village-Chhajana, P.S.-Laukahi, Dist.-Madhubani Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 6.10.2009. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case arising out of Laukahi P.S. Case No.19 of 2004 for the offence under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner has been charged that he gunned down the father of the informant. The bail application of the petitioner has earlier been rejected on 7.6.2006 passed in Cr.Misc. No. 16126 of 2006 and 16.1.2008 passed in Cr.Misc. No. 24721 of 2007. No new ground has been argued by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, save and except, that he has been in incarceration since 17.1.2005. I have perused the report of the Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C.-V, Madhubani who is in seisin of the matter. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial within a further period of nine months. If the trial is not concluded within nine months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
