IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41448 of 2010 Sheo Kumar Yadav, Son of Late Ram Babu Yadav, resident of Village- Kaiampur, Police Station- Khusrupur, District-Patna ------------------- Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner: Sri Manoj Kumar Sinha, Advocate For the State : Sri Jharkhandi Upadhaya, A.P.P. ----------- 02 19-11-2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner, while renewing the prayer for bail in respect of accused Sheo Kumar Yadav, submits that despite the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 15.06.2009, the trial has not commenced till date. It was submitted that till date charge has not been framed. By order dated 10.3.2010 passed in Cr.Misc.No.36248 of 2009, prayer for bail of this petitioner was rejected in view of seriousness of the allegation as well as materials collected during the investigation against the petitioner. There is no change in the circumstances and, as such, the Court is not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner. However, since the petitioner is languishing in jail for a long period, it is desirable to direct the court below to proceed with the case expeditiously, so that after framing of the charges the trial may be concluded without any further delay. It is also directed that steps may be taken to complete hearing on the charge within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With above observation and direction, the petition stands rejected. NKS/- (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
