IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29839 of 2010 RAMA MANJHI son of Baijnath Manjhi, Resident of village-Badarjimi, P.S.-Mirganj, Dist.-Gopalganj. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 4.2.2011. Heard Mr.Shivendra Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Md. Arif, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner, who is in custody in connection with Sessions Trial No.136 of 2010 arising out of Mirganj P.S. Case No.195 of 2002 for the offences under section 302 and other allied section of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner admits that the petitioner is the main assailant. However, he submits that the petitioner has remained in jail for more than one year and eight months and, as such, some observation may be given for expeditious trial. Keeping in view the allegation against the petitioner, the prayer for bail stands rejected. Since the petitioner is in custody for more than one year and eight months, it is desirable to observe that the trial court may take steps for early disposal of the case. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
