IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32851 of 2009 Dheriya @ Nanhaki Dusadh, S/o Hari Kishun Dusadh, R/o Vill. Jagdishpur, P.S. Jalalpur, District Saran at Chapra (Bihar). -------- Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar -------- Opp. Party ----------- 2 5.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. One of the basic requirements of grant of bail is to ensure the presence of the accused for expediting the trial. Here is a case of the year 1986 where the petitioner being charge-sheeted way back in the year 1986-87 had remained absconding for almost 22 years. In that view of the matter, this Court does not find any error in the order of the court below in rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner specially when it is found that it is the absence of the petitioner which has led to not only bifurcating the main case but also delay in the disposal of the trial. That being so, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, namely, Dheriya @ Nanhaki Dusadh is hereby rejected and the court below is directed to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is expedited and concluded 2 preferably within a period of one year from today. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
