IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21688 of 2009 Ganesh Sah, son of Late Kishun Sah, resident of Mohalla-Puraini Bazar, Gudri Road, P.S.-Town, District-Muzaffarpur. ……….Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……..Opp. Party. ----------- 3/ 17.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing for the State. The case is of misuse of bail. It appears that in the case the petitioner was released on bail by order dated 29.5.1989 and thereafter he absented himself, on account of which, his bail bond was cancelled on 7.9.1989 since then he remained absconding and finally was arrested on 12.10.2008. Considering the long absence of the petitioner from appearing in this case, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner again. The case is under Sections 364, 342, 367 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The trial of the case may be held up only because of non-appearance of the petitioner. In the circumstances, this application is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the case and shall make endeavour to conclude the same within six months, failing which the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
