IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42630 of 2008 MUKESH KUMAR @ MUKESH PASWAN … … Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR … … Opp. Party For the petitioner: Shri Girish Chandra Jha For the State: Shri Dashrath Mehta,APP ----------- 3. 4.12.2008 Heard. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. of a case under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code and there is definite statement implicating the petitioner and other accused persons. The contention is that the petitioner is in custody since 18.8.2006 and two other accused who were also named in the F.I.R. have been acquitted after trial. The reason for pendency of the petitioner’s trial, according to the counsel for the petitioner, is that he was remanded in connection with other case pending before the court in Sasaram. Considering the above facts and the fact that the petitioner was identified in course of the offence, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner. 2 The petition is dismissed. The trial should be expedited. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
