IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16156 of 2009 SATENDRA SHARMA, Son of Lalu Sharma, resident of Village-Samahuti, Police Station-Dinara, District- Rohtas at Sasaram. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 31/8/2009 Heard Mr. Bikramdeo Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. In view of direct allegation against the petitioner of opening fire killing the deceased, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. It appears that the petitioner is in custody since 28.9.2007, i.e, almost two years and therefore the trial court would be under obligation to expedite the trial and ensure that the trial is concluded within a period of one year. In the event trial is not concluded, the petitioner shall have liberty initially to move the trial court who will record reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter the petitioner may move this Court.
