IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16370 of 2010 MAHENDRA MAHTO, S/o Makho Mahto. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 06.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner was refused bail earlier by order dated 19.08.2009 vide Cr. Misc. No. 29205 of 2009 on merits. However, since there was an undue delay in trial the petitioner moved before this Court upon which report was called for from the Trial Court and the explanation is that the police papers could be made available to the accused persons only on 02.02.2010 and since one of the accused is lodged in Hilsa Jail so the police papers could not be supplied to him and therefore the case could not be committed to the Court of Sessions. However, from the report it appears that the Magistrate concerned is taking all due care to expedite the matter. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is once again rejected. However, the learned Sessions Judge, Patna is directed to look into the matter so that there is no further delay in the trial. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
