IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29087 of 2009 BABBY @ KANA BABY, son of Md. Sarfuddin, resident of Mohalla Sultanganj Bengali Tola, P.S. Sultanganj, District Patna Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 4.9.2009 Heard Mrs. Soni Srivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Considering the fact that the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected on merits by this Court by an order dated 13.1.2009 in Cr.Misc.No. 41974/2008, this Court would find no reason to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner on merits. His prayer for bail, therefore, is rejected. As with regard to the petitioner remaining in custody since 6.5.2008 this Court would find that a report of the trial court would go to show that the case has already been not only committed to the court of Sessions but the charges have also been framed on 24.6.2009. That being so, even if there are 20 witnesses to be examined in this case, this Court would fix a time limit of 1 ½ years for concluding the trial. 2 If the trial is not concluded in the aforementioned period, the petitioner will have the liberty to initially move the trial court and the trial court will be under obligation to spell out the reasons for not concluding the trial. Only thereafter the petitioner may move this Court. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
