IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41004 of 2009 SUSHIL KUMAR @ SUSHIL THAKUR, son of Sahdeo Thakur, resident of Village Raipur, P.S. Nanpur, District Sitamarhi. -----Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 25.11.2009 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court for grant of bail, which was rejected as per the order dated 1.5.2009 passed in Cr.Misc. No.7644 of 2009. It is submitted that the petitioner is in jail custody for more than one year and four months. However, trial is in progress and one witness was examined on 14.7.2009. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that since the trial is going on, the petitioner does not deserve to be enlarged on bail, which was earlier rejected after considering the merit of the materials. Considering the submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to allow this application. The same is, accordingly, rejected. However, the trial court shall expedite the trial against the petitioner.
