Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6. 19.8.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in Obera P.S.Case No. 89 of 2004 (Sessions Trial No.289 of 2008). By order dated 23.6.2009 a report regarding stage of the trial was called for which has been received. From the report it appears that out of twelve prosecution witnesses, two witnesses have been examined. Prayer for bail of co-accused Prem Yadav has been rejected thrice by this court. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected.
