Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 3 12.10.2010 Having heard Mr. Akhileshwar Prasad Singh, learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, counsel for the State as also counsel for the Informant, while this Court considering seriousness of the allegation for offence u/s 364 I.P.C. as brought forward by the informant of the petitioner being last in the company of the deceased and its being also corroborated in the three statements under section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected for the present. The petitioner is in custody since 5.6.2010. Counsel for the Informant would submit that the Informant will produce all the named private witnesses in the chargesheet within a period of six months from the date of framing of charge. The Superintendent of Police, Bhojpur is also directed to ensure production of the official witnesses including the Investigating Officer within the same period of six months. Since the petitioner is in custody and is the sole accused, there should not be also any difficulty in either committing the case or framing the charge. The trial court, therefore, should take all expeditious steps to conclude trial of the 2 petitioner as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the aforementioned period, the petitioner will have liberty initially to move the trial court which then would record its reason for not concluding the trial, whereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
