IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4277 of 2011 RAJU SAH @ MUNNA SAH, SON OF SAJAWAL SAH, RESIDENT AT- KHARTARI, P.S. CHIRAIYA, DISTRICT- EAST CHAMPARAN, MOTIHARI. …….PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR. ………OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 2. 09.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is in custody since 7.12.2010 in relation to Chiraiya P.S. Case No. 22 of 2005 instituted under section 364A, 365, 368 and 120A of the Indian Penal Code. From the order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, East Champaran Motihari, it is clear that petitioner though named in the First Information Report, charge sheeted was on 31.12.2005 and cognizance against him was taken showing him as absconder, but he has surrendered after almost five years. Learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the prosecution case itself has been disbelieved, inasmuch as the main accused person namely, Promod Sah has been acquitted. Be that as it may, considering the long absence of petitioner from the case, I am not inclined to interfere in the matter at this stage. The learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months, subject to petitioner co-operating. If the trial is not so concluded, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew the prayer for bail. Devendra/ ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J. )
