IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2414 of 2011 PRAMOD DABIYANUS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR --------- 02/ 10.03.2011 Supplementary affidavit is filed on behalf of the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. It is apparent from perusal of the first information report that petitioner and co-accused Tohid committed rape on the informant’s minor girl. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks bail on the ground that the informant’s husband has already deposed before the trial court that the petitioner was not involved in the alleged crime and similarly, informant has sworn affidavit exonerating the petitioner from the alleged crime. Admittedly, trial has already begun and prayer for bail of co-accused Tohid has already been dismissed by this court. So, in the aforesaid circumstances, I do not think it proper to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the Sessions Trial no.194/2010 arising out Tribeniganj P.S. Case no.17/2010 and dispose of the trial of petitioner preferably within six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the learned trial court itself. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
