Pettitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……… Opp.Party ----------- 3. 12/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Case is under sections 364(A) and 120B of the Indian Penal Code. Case diary was called for and from the case diary as well as order of learned Sessions Judge, it appears that petitioner along with co- accused Rakesh Kumar were arrested while receiving ransom from the father of the victim boy and on their identification victim boy was recovered. The victim boy after recovery also identified petitioner and said Rakesh Kumar as the persons responsible. In view of such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to allow petitioner on bail at this stage. This application is, therefore, dismissed. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in jail for about a year and charge sheet was submitted long back but no progress has been made in the case and it has not been committed for trial. - 2 - The court below is directed to take immediate steps for putting the accused persons on trial and make all efforts to conclude the same within one year from today. In case, trial is not concluded within one year, for no fault of the petitioner, he will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Pradeep/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
