IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43029 of 2009 ASHOK RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 24.02.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail in view of the liberty granted to him by this Court by order dated 24.06.2009(Annexure-1). It appears that under order dated 06.01.2010, the status report was called for which has been sent to and received in this Court and is placed at Flag-A. From perusal of the same, it appears that almost all the prosecution witnesses have been examined except the investigating officer. The petitioner seems to be in custody since 04.03.2008. He is named in the FIR. Having regard to the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner and after going through the materials on record, this Court while declining the prayer of the petitioner, disposes of the present application in the following manner: “Let the trial court endeavour to examine the remaining prosecution witness(s) within one month from the date of receipt/communication of the present order in the court below, failing which the trial court shall release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M.(West) Muzaffarpur in Saraiya P.S.Case No. 277 of 2000 subject to the condition that one of the bailors shall be his own/close family member and that the - 2 - petitioner shall appear on each date fixed at the trial. In case of default in appearance without there being any compelling reasons therefor, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail bonds.” hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
