IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14293 of 2008 ASHOK PASWAN Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 30.07.2008 Heard. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by order dated 22.3.2007 passed in Cr.Misc.No.48787/2006. It was directed that the trial court shall make all efforts to expedite the trial and conclude the same within one year. In this regard report was called for from the learned court below by order dated 14.5.2008 as to within what time the trial is likely to be concluded. From the report at Flag `A’, it appears that out of 12 witnesses six witnesses have been examined. The trial court has indicated that the trial of the case may be concluded within four months. In view of the report of the learned trial court, I am not inclined to consider the application of the petitioner for bail at this stage. The application is rejected accordingly. As per the report, the trial court(Additional Sessions Judge, Rosera, - 2 - Samastipur) shall proceed with the trial(Sessions Trial No.589 of 2007) expeditiously and conclude the same by 30th of November, 2008. If the witnesses on behalf of the prosecution are not appearing in the case, the trial court shall take all coercive measures for recording their evidence as early as possible. ( J. N.
