IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23645 of 2009 RANJEET MISTRI @ RANJEET KUMAR MISTRI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 05.08.2009 Petitioner has renewed his prayer for grant of bail in a case instituted under Sections 498A, 304B, 201 and 34 of Indian Penal Code. Earlier his prayer for bail was refused under order dated 2.5.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 11709 of 2008 granting him liberty to renew his prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within a year from the date of communication of the order. In the present proceeding, this Court under order dated 8.7.2009 called for status report which has been sent to and received. The report is at Flag-X. On perusal of the report, it appears that the trial is under way. Four prosecution witnesses have already been examined and yet two more prosecution witnesses apart from the I.O of the case are to be examined. Learned counsel submits that hitherto four witnesses (all family members of the informant )examined in the case have not supported the case and have been declared hostile. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this court while declining the prayer of the petitioner disposes of the present application in the following manner. Let the trial court conclude the evidences of remaining prosecution witnesses on or before 5th November, 2009 failing 2 which the trial court shall release the petitioner on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to its satisfaction. In the event the petitioner is granted bail in terms of the present order, the same shall carry the following two conditions: (i) One of the bailers will be own/close family member of the petitioner. (ii) The petitioner shall appear in person on each and every date fixed in the Court below. In case of default on two consecutive occasions without any cogent/satisfactory reason, the bail bond of the petitioner shall be cancelled and thereafter the Trial Court will be at liberty to secure his arrest in accordance with law. pkj ( Kishore K.
