IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52692 of 2008 SANJAY KUMAR SINGH SON OF MOKHTAR SINGH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE GHANPURA,P.S.DEORIYA,DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 13.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered for offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Before death, the deceased has also named the petitioner as the person who has set fire the informant by throwing a match stick on him. From the report of the court below it appears that out of 34 prosecution witnesses, 12 have been examined, cross-examined and discharged. The trial is going on. So at this stage, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial.
