IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35750 of 2009 1. SANJEEV KUMAR SINGH 2. NIRANJAN KUMAR SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 02.12.2009 Petitioners have renewed their prayer for grant of bail in a case instituted under Section 392 of Indian Penal Code. Earlier their prayer for bail was refused under order dated 12.12.2008 (Annexure-1). They were, however, granted liberty to renew their prayer for bail after eight months if the trial in the mean while is not taken up. A status report was called for in this case which is placed on record and marked “X”. From perusal of the said report, it appears that out of seven charge-sheet witnesses, the prosecution has already examined six witnesses. The I.O. is now left to be examined for which steps have already been taken. It appears that the petitioners are in custody since 22.5.2008. Having regard to the facts appearing from the status report, this court, for the present, is not inclined to release the petitioners on bail. The prayer is accordingly rejected. However, if the trial itself is not concluded within four months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order, the petitioners will have liberty to renew his prayer for bail. pkj ( Kishore K.
