IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44380 of 2008 SHANKAR MAHTO @ SHANKAR SINGH … … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … Opp. Party For the petitioner: Shri Ashok Kr.Sinha For the State: Shri Dashrath Mehta,APP - - - - 2. 23.10.2008 Heard both the sides. The case is under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that the petitioner annihilated his own mother. The contention is that the petitioner is in custody since 1.12.2003, that is, for abut five years and the trial is yet to be concluded which was directed to be concluded by this Court while disposing of the prayer of accused Lalan Mahto alias Lalan Singh. The report is that only Doctor and I.O. were left to be examined. Accused Lalan Mahto alias Lalan Singh has been admitted to bail by a Bench of this Court by an order dated 9.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No. 5539 of 2008. The rejection order by Additional Sessions Judge Ist, Samastipur, is dated 20.8.2008. Thus, it appears that the learned Additional Sessions could take up the matter with all seriousness so much so that he has to examine only those 2 particular witnesses. I direct the Additional Sessions Judge to take his own attempts for concluding the trial and pull all strings attached to his fingers for ensuring that the I.O. and the Doctor are examined by him as soon as possible. The petition is dismissed. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
