IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27648 of 2010 Sonu Mian @ Sanoubar Mian, son of Matin @ Matin Khan, resident of Khalasi Mahalla, Jhajha, P.S. Jhajha, District Jamui. --------- Petitioner Versus State of Bihar ------- Opp. Party ----------- 3 11.10.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as also taking into account the report of the trial court at Flag-A, this Court, in view of the fact that the earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on merit, is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail for the present. The trial court, in its report dated 3.09.2010, has indicated that a period of five months would be sufficient for concluding the trial and that five witnesses have already been examined. In that view of the matter, while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner, this Court would direct the trial court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is concluded within a period of five months and if for any reason solely attributable to the prosecution the trial of the petitioner is not concluded in the 2 aforementioned period, the petitioner will be at liberty initially to move the trial court which would then be under obligation to spell out the reasons for not concluding the trial of the petitioner and only thereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
