IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1778 of 2008 RAGHUNATH YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5. 06.05.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. From the report of the Superintendent of Police, Bagaha it appears that petitioner is accused in as many as nine cases, all registered for major offences. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner even when he is in jail custody for two years on the ground of having committed default in appearance for a day i.e. 25.4.1999 which was the date fixed for commitment of the case as by avoiding commitment he has not only delayed the trial but also ensured that during this period the witnesses also disappear.
