IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27412 of 2009 RAMBABU SINGH @ RAMBABU SHARMA SON OF FAKIRA SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BELKHARI, P.S. KARPI, DISTRICT ARWAL …. PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR …. O.P ----------- 2. 26.8.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 302 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is the main assailant of the deceased, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. It has been brought to the notice of this Court that even though the petitioner is in custody since 26.8.2007 and the trial is in progress, but since last one year no witness has turned up. In the circumstances, the trial court is directed to take effective steps in getting the evidence of the witnesses recorded so that the petitioner may not suffer an indefinite period of incarceration.
