IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26385 of 2010 SUJAY MANDAL, S/o Ramdeo Mandal, Resident of village Majhaulia, P.S. Bathanaha, District Sitamarhi …… Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR .. Opposite Party ----------- For the petitioner : Mrs. Soni Shrivastava, Advocate For the State : Mr. Md. Arif, A.P.P. ---- 3 04.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for offences punishable under Sections 341, 324, 307 and 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner’s prayer for bail had earlier been rejected by this Court on 27.11.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 36773 of 2009, a copy of which has been appended as Annexure 1. I have perused the report of the trial court which is kept at flag ‘A’. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that from perusal of first information report it would not appear that the informant was the eye witness, therefore, the entire occurrence and the contents of first information report itself created doubt. However, 2 learned counsel for the State submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of firing at the deceased and the bail of the petitioner has already been considered on merit and rejected. In above view of the matter, since learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to show any fresh ground for grant of bail, the prayer for bail is rejected. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed. However, since charges have already been framed on 6.2.2010, it is expected from the trial court to take every steps for expeditious disposal of the trial preferably within six months. It is also expected from the Superintendent of Police, Sitamarhi to ensure that the prosecution witnesses are produced for their examination on the date fixed. Let a copy of this order be served upon the learned counsel for the State. Spd/- ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
