IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23516 of 2009 BIJALI RAI @ RAKESH RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 19.8.2009 Heard Sri Dhurendra Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The Presiding Officer of F.T.C.IV, East Champaran at Motihari before whom the trial of Sessions Trial No.622 of 2007 is going on, appears to be an officer who is not honest in making his record. While speaking about the framing of charges the officer has purposely not stated the date of framing of charges which the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner points out as the 18th of July, 2007. The officer dismissed the prayer for bail only because this court had refused the prayer earlier. This could not be a good ground for dismissing the prayer for bail while keeping the trial of an accused in custody pending. The court has to point out the steps which it had taken towards the production of witnesses. The Presiding Officer of F.T.C.IV, East Champaran at Motihari appears completely an incapable officer to hold the powers of a court of Sessions. But, before I do make any entry in his record, I want to direct him to conclude the hearing of the trial in six months time from the date of the receipt/production of the copy of the present order, else to submit explanation for his failures to this court. Considering the seriousness of the charges, the petition is dismissed with the above directions. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
