IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26026 of 2009 NARESH RAI, son of Sri Chulhai Rai, resident of Didarganj, P.S. Didarganj, District Patna Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 1.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Strictly speaking when the petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail was rejected by this Court by an order dated 24.1.2007 he ought to have surrendered soon thereafter but the petitioner has ultimately chosen to surrender on 13.6.2009. There is no explanation for such absconding of the petitioner at least from 25.1.2007 in a case of the year 2004. That being so, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present but then the petitioner will have a liberty to move the trial court again for grant of bail. If the trial against the petitioner is not completed within a period of four months from today and if the petitioner is not found responsible for delaying conclusion of the trial he will be also released on bail. 2 With the aforementioned observations, this application is dismissed.
