IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3538 of 2010 KISHORE SAO son of late Ram Briksh Sao, resident of village- Siyar Bhukka, P.S.-Chandauty, Dist.-Gaya. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 18.2.2010. Heard Mr. Sheikh Arhan Ahmad, learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner, who is in custody in connection with Chandauty P.S.Case No.134 of 2006 corresponding to Sessions Trial No.208 of 2007/54 of 2009 for the offences under sections 302 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, has renewed his prayer for bail by filing the present petition. Earlier, prayer for bail was rejected by this court vide order dated 4.4.2007 in Cr.Misc. No.13608 of 2007. Learned counsel for the petitioner has informed the court that the evidence is going on and till date three witnesses have been examined who, according to the learned counsel, are hearsay witnesses. Since the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on merit by this court, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. Accordingly, his prayer of the bail is rejected. However, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 11.10.2006, it is desirable that the trial court must take steps for expeditious conclusion of the trial. It is expected that the trial court will take steps to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is also expected that the defence will also co-operate in 2 expeditious conclusion of the trial. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
