IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.50323 of 2008 INDRADEO GANDARWA, Son of Chhotu Gandarwa, resident of Village- Burhikhar, P.S. Jhajha, District- Jamui…………Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Alok Kumar Sinha-1, Advocate. For the State : Mr. R. Singh Shashtri, A. P.P. ----------- 5. 20.04.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner Indradeo Gandarwa who though not named in the First Information Report is incarcerated since 25.11.2006 in connection with Jhajha P.S. Case No. 125 of 2006 registered under Sections 376,302,201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It appears that the petitioner’s earlier foray to this court was rejected vide order dated 24.01.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 47166 of 2007 where the petitioner was given liberty to renew his prayer for bail in the event the case did not make any progress within four months. A supplementary affidavit has been filed in court today to indicate that charges under Sections 376,302,201/34 of the Indian Penal Code have been framed against the petitioner on 18.2.2009 in Sessions Trial No. 48 of 2009 arising out of Jhajha P.S. Case No. 125 of 2006 and on 16.3.2009 one witness has been examined on behalf of the prosecution. In view of the earlier order which was disposed of on merit and the directions of the court contained therein having been complied with and the trial itself having started, I find no compelling reasons at present to take a contrary view to the one taken in the earlier order dated 24.01.2008 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 47166 of 2007. - 2 - The prayer for bail of the petitioner is, accordingly, rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and complete the same preferably within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. U.K. (Abhijit Sinha,J)
