No.41619 of 2008 RAJU MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 3.12.2008 Heard Sri Kirshna Prasad Singh, Senior Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The court is not inclined to reconsider the earlier two rejection orders which the petitioner had earned from this Court. However, the court is worried about the lethargic proceeding of the trial of the case. The court below is direct to separate the trial of absconding accused Ramayan Ram, if he is not brought before him in execution of the process, declare him as an absconder by recording the evidence of witnesses under Section 299 Cr.P.C. and submit his case to the record and proceed with the trial of the present petitioner and other accused persons who are available to the trial court and conclude the trial in six months time by taking steps in the light of the decision rendered by the Apex Court in Shailendra Kumar Vrs. State of Bihar AIR 2002 SC 270. Let this order be communicated through fax to the court concerned at the cost of the petitioner. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
