IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45531 of 2009 BABLU GARAI @ PANKAJ KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 28.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner is a hardened criminal. He is an accused in five other cases of serious nature of similar kind. In that background and after perusing the case diary the Court had rejected the prayer for bail with a direction to expedite the trial of the case. Petitioner is back before this Court by way of a fresh application on the ground that some co-accused have been granted bail. His plea is that his case should also be considered in the light of the order of bail granted to co-accused in this regard. The Court had called for a report from the trial court as to the status of the trial. The report is at flag ‘X’. Reading of the said report would show that there is a determined effort to see that the trial of the case does not proceed and benefit of delay can be taken as a ground of bail. Seriousness of the offence for which the petitioner has been charged and his conduct still does not compel this Court to enlarge him on bail as enlarging him on bail would surely ensure that the trial will never conclude. The prayer for bail is rejected. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
