IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12813 of 2010 1. BHUTO YADAV 2. Hareram Yadav, both sons of late Nago Yadav, Resident of Village – Rajajan, P.S. – Mansi, District - Khagaria Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 26.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and State. In this 17 years old case petitioners are named accused, but, remained absconding during that period. As stated, some of the accused persons have already faced trial. The petitioners namely Bhuto Yadav and Hareram Yadav are in custody since 1.6.2009 and 16.8.2009 respectively, after being remanded from other case. Both have criminal antecedents also. It is contended that due to previous land dispute they have falsely been implicated in this case. Considering the fact and circumstances, and the delay of 17 years caused at the hands of the petitioners, for the present, I am not inclined to enlarge them on bail. Hence, prayer is rejected. Simultaneously, trial court is directed to proceed expeditiously, and in case trial is not concluded within a year, petitioners may renew their prayer before the trial court itself.
