IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26779 of 2008 BINAY SAGAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 16.7.2008 Heard. Earlier prayer of the petitioner was dismissed vide Annexure-1 which is an order passed jointly in Miscellaneous petitions, one of which bore no.28014 of 2006. It is true that the trial had proceeded but the pace of it is not satisfactory. Out of fifteen witnesses, it is contended, the court below has examined, on its own showing, six witnesses. The court below has not indicated as to when it framed charge against the accused persons which was desirable from it to be mentioned in the impugned order. The court below has also not mentioned as to what could be the exact number of chargesheeted witnesses. But, in any view of the matter, considering that the petitioner is the husband who bears allegations which have earlier been considered in annexure-1, I am not inclined to direct release of the petitioner on bail. However, the court below should examine all the remaining witnesses within nine months time from today by acting in the light of A.I.R. 2002 SC 270 (Shailendra Kumar Vs. State of Bihar). sudip ( Dharnidhar Jha, J )
