IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33461 of 2009 1. SHAILESH KUMAR SINGH @ SHAILESH SINGH, son of Shri Upendra Singh 2. Santosh Yadav, son of Shri Jagdish Yadav 3. Rajiv Ranjan Sinha @ Dablu Lal, son of Shri Rabindra Lal All residents of village Shiopur, P.S. Bikramganj, District Rohtash (Sasaram) Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 16.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners and the counsel for the State. The allegation of the petitioners to say the least is an act of a dare devil. The petitioners with his two associates is said to have not only over-powered the informant but had also snatched his mobile and cash and to top it all even his tractor and trailer were made to disappear. Counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners have been made accused in this case on account of enmity of the police. He would also by filing supplementary affidavit bring on record that similar offences have been invented by the police against them and that is how their criminal antecedent has been kept updated. In the opinion of this Court the statement of the witnesses in the case diary as recorded by the learned Sessions Judge 2 coupled with the criminal antecedent of the petitioners would not entitle them for being released on bail for the present. The trial court is, hereby, directed to ensure that the trial of the petitioners is expedited and completed within a period of nine months from today. If the trial of the petitioners would not be completed in the aforementioned period, the petitioners shall have the liberty to move the trial court which will record reasons for not concluding the trial. If the prayer for bail of the petitioners, however, would be rejected by the trial court in the manner as indicated above, they may renew their prayer for bail. With the aforementioned observation, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
