IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28145 of 2009 NAGENDRA SINGH @ CHINTU SINGH, Son of Late Manager Singh, resident of Village-Baikunthpur, Police Station-Manghagardh, District-Gopalganj. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 4/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the fact that prayer for bail of the petitioner was dismissed on 24.9.2008 on merits in Cr. Misc. No. 28956 of 2008, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, but then taking into account the observation made by the court below in the order rejecting bail, this Court would direct the trial court to ensure that trial of the petitioner is completed within a period of nine months from today. In the event, trial of the petitioner will not be completed within the aforementioned period only on account of laches on the part of the prosecution, the petitioner will have liberty to move the court below, who will be under obligation to spell out reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
