IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32600 of 2009 1. DARBARI TANTI, son of late Bharat Tanti 2. Sanjay Tanti, son of Darbari Tanti 3. Prabhash Tanti, son of Darbari Tanti All residents of village Sijhua Tand, P.S. khaira, District Jamui Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 15.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners and the counsel for the State. Considering the fact that the postmortem report completely substantiates the allegation made in the F.I.R. as with regard to the death of the deceased by throttling and resultant asphyxia, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners considering the fact that similar prayer of bail of co-accused Surendra Tanti has also been rejected by this Court by an order dated 15.4.2009 in Cr.Misc.No. 3338/2009. The petitioners are in custody since 13.5.2009 and all the named F.I.R. accused are already in custody and therefore, the trial court is directed to ensure that the trial of the petitioners is expedited and preferably concluded within a period of 1 ½ years from today. In the event the trial will not be concluded within the 2 aforementioned period the petitioners shall have the liberty initially to move the trail court which will have to record reasons for not concluding the trial, whereafter the petitioners may renew their prayer for bail before this Court. With the aforementioned observations, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
