IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27199 of 2009 AMARJEET RAI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 09.09.2009 Heard Sri Mukesh Kumar Rana, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri Dasrath Mehta, APP for the Stated. Regard being had to the facts of the case, the Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Petition is dismissed. While perusing the impugned order what appears is that the case bearing Sessions Trial No. 1210 of 2008 is lying before a court, which does not have any Presiding Officer. One does not know whether the Sessions Judge of the Sessions Division under which the station Araria falls is actually aware of the situation and is sensitive enough to act after finding such vacancy and pendency of cases before the court. The petitioner is in custody since 16.2.2008. The charges have been framed on 13.2.2009 and no witness has been examined only because there is no Presiding Judge to take the proceedings further. The Court wishes that the learned Sessions Judge had transferred the case to a court which was functioning and expects that before this order - 2 - reaches, he has corrected the administrative fouly. Let this order be communicated to the Sessions Judge, Araria himself also for information and compliance. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
