IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12949 of 2010 RAMESH KUMAR @ MUKESH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 11.08.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail in view of liberty so granted to him by order dated 23.6.2009 (Annexure-1). The concluding paragraph of the order reads as under: “In that view of the matter, this Court grant liberty to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail after nine months, if the trial in the meanwhile does not commence” A status report was called for in the case by order dated 28.4.2010. Said report is on record wherefrom it appears that on 25.3.2010, the case was committed to the Court of Sessions and the matter has been fixed on 23.6.2010 for framing of charge. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that on 13.7.2010 both the accused facing trial including the petitioner were produced from jail custody but they were remanded back to the jail custody without framing of charge and next date was fixed on 23.7.2010. He is, however, not in a position to state that whether charges have been framed or not till date. Petitioner seems to be in custody since 2.6.2008. Having regard to the materials on record including the order at Annexure-1 and the report of the trial court, this court while declining the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner 2 disposes of the application in the following manner: Let the trial court frame charges against the petitioner within three weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order in the court below. As soon as the charges are framed, the trial court shall release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Gurua P.S. case no. 30 of 2008 (G.R no. 497 of 2008) subject to the two conditions: (i) One of the bailers will be own/close family member of the petitioner. (ii) The petitioner shall appear in person on each and every date fixed in the Court below. In case of default on two consecutive occasions without any cogent/satisfactory reason, the bail bond of the petitioner shall be cancelled and thereafter the Trial Court will be at liberty to secure his arrest in accordance with law. pkj ( Kishore K.
