IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.371 of 2009 KUDUS ANSARI @ QUDDUS ANSARI @ RAJU, son of Karamat Ansari, resident of village-Kajrat Nawadih, P.S.Hussainabad,District-Palamu(Jharkhand). Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 6.2.2009 Heard Sri Binay Kumar Bineet, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The case relates to dacoity in a train and plundering of the passengers travelling therein. In that course some of the criminals were also assaulted and injured and they were taken to hospital where the informant and others appeared and identified the petitioner. The contention is that the petitioner has remained in custody for over three and half years. Considering the evidence of identification by the passengers who were plundered and looted, I am not inclined to direct the release of the above named petitioner on bail. Petition is dismissed. The F.T.C.IV, Aurangabad (S.Tr.No.23 of 2005/290/2007) is directed to ensure that the trial is expedited and it is disposed of quickly. The observation has its meaning because the last witness as per the rejection order was examined on 27.7.2006 and the pace of examination of witnesses cannot be appreciated. B.Kr.
