IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.29547 of 2011 Dharmbir Paswan @ Bariya son of Kedar Paswan Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 2/ 12.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. On 23.03.2011 vide Cr. Misc. No. 6699 of 2011, the petitioner was allowed but on certain conditions. He was admitted to bail, but during trial on a day when a witness was produced on behalf of the prosecution, the petitioner failed to appear before the Trial Court after filing his attendance. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to petitioner. Prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court should bear in mind that section 273 Cr. P. C. does not prohibit examination of a witness even in his absence so long he is represented by a Pleader. In my view, he should have proceeded with the examination of the witnesses even in his absence after noticing the lawyer, who appeared on behalf of the petitioner. JA/- (Anjana Prakash,J.)
