IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4861 of 2011 LAKADU YADAV @ LAKRU YADAV, SON OF MOTI YADAV, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-KATAHAWA RETA, POLICE STATION-PIPRASI, DISTRICT-WEST CHAMPARAN…………………………………..PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR………………..OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- For the Petitioner : M/s. Manan Kumar Mishra, Sr. Advocate & Kumar Shashank Shekhar, Advocate. For the State : None. --------- 5. 13.4.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. No one appears on behalf of the State. I have also perused the report, kept at flag-‘B’. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 341, 323, 325 307/34 and subsequently added Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner’s prayer for bail had earlier been rejected twice vide order dated 30.10.2009 passed in Criminal Misc. No.36434 of 2009 and again by order dated 14.7.2010 passed in Criminal Misc. No.16803 of 2010. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the occurrence was due to sudden out burst and, in fact, the deceased died after one week. However, after hearing the 2 case of the petitioner on merit, the bail applications of the petitioner had already been rejected on two occasions. The trial court in its report has submitted that 11 witnesses out of 12 chargesheeted witnesses have been examined in this case and the trial is pending for the evidence of one Investigating Officer and the same is at the verge of disposal. In the above view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. As a result, the bail application of the petitioner is rejected at this stage. However, from the order dated 20.1.2011 filed alongwith the supplementary affidavit, it appears that the examination of the aforesaid Investigating Officer is pending since then. In the above view of the matter, it is expected from the trial court to take every possible steps to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three months. The Senior Superintendent of Police of the concerned District is also expected to take every possible steps to ensure the attendance of the concerned Investigating Officer on the date fixed. 3 Let a copy of this order be handed over to the learned counsel for the State.
