IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29691 of 2009 SAKALDEO SAHNI S/o Yugeshwar Sahni Resident of village- Kalbari Phateur P.S.- Kanti, District- Muzaffarpur ------------Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR -------------Opposite Party ----------- 2. 19.8.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 395 and 397 of the Indian Penal Code. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has criminal antecedent and the fact that the trial is going on, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The application for bail is rejected. It has been brought to the notice of the Court that even though the case has been committed in the year 2008 but no witnesses have been examined till date. Under the circumstances, the trial Court will take expedient steps to examine the witnesses and conclude the trial at the earliest and in case the trial is not concluded within one year on no fault on the part of the petitioner, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail P.
