IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26232 of 2009 AINUL HAQUE Versus STATE OF BIHAR With Cr.Misc. No.24411 of 2009 SAINTHU Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 9.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners in the two petitions. I have also perused the report appearing at flag-A of Cr.Misc.Petition No.24411 of 2009. Regard being had to the facts as indicated in my earlier rejection order, I am not inclined to release the above named petitioners on bail. However, the court has fixed a time frame to dispose of the case in three months. This court gives the court a time frame of nine months to dispose of the case with an advice to it that it should refrain itself from entering into correspondence with any officers of the executive. So far as the question of production of witnesses are concerned, the court below may go through the decision of the Supreme Court of India in Shailendra Kumar Vrs. State of Bihar AIR 2002 SC 270 and the provision of Section - 2 - 170(2)Cr.P.C. and draw up an order directing the issuance of notices to the officer-in-charge of the police station by which the particular case or cases could have been investigated into and issue notice to that officer-in-charge to produce witnesses before it by remaining present. A copy of the notice may be sent to the Superintendent of Police, Supaul also informing that the police should cooperate in production of the witnesses. I believe that the learned Trial Judge appreciates the above mode prescribed for criminal trial and acts accordingly. The two petitions are dismissed as indicated above. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
