IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10934 of 2010 SAWAN KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 28.04.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail in view of liberty so granted by order dated 12.08.2009, passed in Cr.Misc. No.12534 of 2009 (Annexure-1). The concluding paragraph of the said order reads thus: “Looking to the submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner as also the fact that he is in custody since 14.7.2007, this Court observes that let, the trial court make endeavour to examine all the remaining prosecution witnesses within seven months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order in the court below, the petitioner shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail before this Court.” The status report was called for which is at Flag-X.
