IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30311 of 2010 SHANKER RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 09.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner had once earlier moved this Court for bail through Cr.Misc.No.22106 of 2009 and which was rejected by order passed on 29.10.2009. This is a second attempt on behalf of the petitioner. The petitioner is charged with firing at the brother-in-law of the informant causing his death. It is in this background that the bail of the petitioner was rejected on the earlier occasion. A report has been received from the trial Court pursuant to the order passed on 4.10.2010 and in which it has been submitted that most of the prosecution witnesses have since been examined except the Investigating Officer. In that view of the matter, this bail application is dismissed with a liberty to the petitioner to renew his 2 prayer, if the trial does not conclude within a period of nine months from today. The trial Court would be well advised to expedite and conclude the trial within next nine months. Let the order be transmitted to the trial Court. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J.)
