IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34273 of 2010 RAMESH @ RAMESHWAR CHOUDHARY, S/O LATE AMOLA CHOUDHARY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE – PREM NAGAR, P.S. – LAUKARIA, DISTRICT – WEST CHAMPARAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 22.02.2011 Heard Sri Sanjeev Kumar No. 7, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Jagdhar Prasad, learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is in custody in Sessions Trial No. 211 of 1997 (arising out of Shikarpur P.S. Case No. 240 of 1996) for the offence under Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code has prayed for grant of bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned order does not indicate regarding any role played by the petitioner and petitioner was not knowing regarding his involvement in the present case. He was in custody in another case from 1998 to 2002 and subsequently he was arrested on 7.6.2010 and since then he is in custody. In view of the fact, that trial has also commenced after framing of the charge and petitioner could be arrested only in the year 2010 in a case in which F.I.R. was registered in the year 1996, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail stands rejected. Since the petitioner is in custody, it is expected, that learned Trial Court will take all steps for early disposal of the trial. Praful/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
