IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23207 of 2010 Pappu Yadav, son of Deven Yadav, Resident of village Tilakpur, Bichla Tola, P.S. Sultanganj, District Bhagalpur………Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar……………………Opposite Party ----------- 5 30.03.2011 By order dated 17.09.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No.19743 of 2009, bail application of the petitioner was rejected as he was said to be the main assailant. In the order neither any direction was issued to the court below to conclude the trial within the fixed time nor petitioner was granted any liberty to move this Court again for bail, if the trial does not conclude within a time limit. In the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to consider bail application of the petitioner again at this stage. The application is dismissed. However, learned counsel for the petitioner points out that trial is being delayed on account of non-production of charge sheeted witnesses and he submits that after 25.11.2008 no further witness has been examined in the trial. 2 In the circumstances, this Court directs the Additional Sessions Judge (F.T.C. No.5), Bhagalpur in connection with Sessions Trial No.946/2008 arising out of Sultanganj P.S. Case No.125/2007 to take all possible steps to conclude the trial within six months by taking coercive steps, if necessary, against the witnesses for their appearance. In case the trial is not concluded within six months for no fault of the petitioner, he is granted liberty to move this Court again. BT (J. N. Singh, J.)
