IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13908 of 2009 Ramanand Mandal, Son of Shiv Narayan Mandal, resident of Village- Kajhi, Police Station –Banmankhi, District-Purnia ------------------ Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 22-05-2009 Heard Mr.Bijendra Kumar Singh, learned counsel for petitioner as also Mr. Surj Bansh Roy, learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner Ramanand Mandal , an F.I.R. named accused ,who is in custody and whose earlier foray to this Court for bail had been rejected by speaking order dated 18.3.2008 passed in Cr.Misc. No.49288 of 2007, has again prayed for bail. Submission on behalf of the petitioner is that he has been in custody for about two years and no effective progress has been made in the trial court inasmuch as though the charge was framed as far as back on 21.7.2008, no witness on behalf of the prosecution has been examined so far. The petitioner has been named by the informant victim in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. apart from he is figuring as F.I.R. named accused. The order dated 18.3.2008 passed in Cr.Misc.No.49288 of 2007 is a well reasoned order and I see no pulpable reason for interfering with the same. Accordingly, the prayer for bail on the second occasion by the petitioner is hereby rejected. NKS/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
