IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.26904 of 2011 Mahendra Paswan, son of Late Chaudhary Paswan. Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 4 20.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 364A, 414, and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is refused bail by an order dated 06.10.2010 since the victim had disclosed the active complicity of the petitioner in the occurrence of kidnapping for purposes of ransom. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail on the ground that he is in custody since 2 ½ years and there is no sufficient progress in the trial. A report was called for from the trial court which reveals that up till now two witnesses have been examined and active steps for examination of the rest of the witnesses have been taken. In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier order. The prayer for bail is once hereby rejected. The Trial Court is directed to send a list of the witnesses fixing specific dates for their examination along with a copy of this order to the Superintendent of Police, Supaul, who is directed to ensure the attendance of the witnesses on the date fixed so that there is no further delay in the trial.
