IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52332 of 2008 JATAN KEWAT, Son of Late Badri Kewat, resident of Mohalla Partappur P.S. Mehandiganj, District-Patna. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30.1.2009 Heard Sri Ashok Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Five witnesses have been examined by the learned trial Judge who dismissed the prayer for bail of the petitioner by order passed on 21.7.2008 in Sessions Trial No.789 of 2007. The learned counsel appearing for the Informant submits that one more witness has now been examined but at any rate the distance of time between examinations of witnesses appears too big to be appreciated. If the learned Judge was reporting the examination of five witnesses in July,2008 he could have concluded the trial by now by examining the remaining witnesses, which could be three as per the submission of the learned counsel for the Informant, out of whom two are yet to be examined. The court desires to set down a time frame of 60 working days from the date of receipt of the copy of the present order for the examination of the two public witnesses and the other official witnesses who could be the doctor and the Investigating Officer of the case - 2 - and concluding the trial by delivering the judgement within that period, else the Judge shall have to explain to this Court as to why he could not conclude the trial. The learned counsel for the Informant assures producing witnesses within his reach before the court below for their examination. The day this order is received by the court below, it shall take steps for production of the official witnesses by directing the issuance of processes or taking up the matter by issuing notice to the officer-in-charge as also to the Superintendent of Police for production of the I.O. and the doctor on day desired by the court below. Any failure in production of the official witnesses would entail drawing up of proceeding against the Superintendent of Police O/C of the Police Station. The petition is dismissed in the light of the ground as indicated by me in order passed in Cr.Misc.Petition No.32543 of 2008 and under the belief that the petitioner has no reason to approach this Court through any other bail petition.
