IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41419 of 2010 ASHOK MANDAL, SON OF DASRATH MANDAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 05.01.2011 Supplementary affidavit filed today be kept on the record. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in S.C. No. 1138 of 2009 arising out of Gopalppur P.S. case No. 185 of 2007 instituted for the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail after his previous prayer was refused on 17.9.2009 vide Cr. Misc. 25985 of 2009 on the ground that even though all efforts are being taken by the trial court to examine the Informant but he is not appearing before the court on account of which the trial is being unnecessarily delayed even while the petitioner is languishing in jail since 30.10.2007. Since the petitioner is said to be the main assailant, I am not inclined to review the previous order. The prayer for bail is again rejected. However, the Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur, is directed to immediately ensure production of Pankaj Kumar Mandal, son of Awdhi Mandal @ Suresh Mandal, r/o village Teentanga Karari, P.S. Gopalpur, Distt. Bhagalpur, for his 2 examination and also ensure that the Officer-in-Charge of the said Police Station produces the rest of the charge sheeted witnesses so that the trial can be concluded within a reasonable time. Let this order be communicated to the Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur, through FAX. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
