IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1744 of 2010 LAXMAN SINGH @ LAXAMAN YADAV, S/O-LATE RAMJANAM SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-BIRPURA, P.S.-AGIAON BAZAR, DISTRICT-BHOJPUR. …..Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …..Opposite Party. For the Petitioner : Mr. P.K. Rai (Adv.) For the State : APP. ----------- 04/ 12.05.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the State. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail and it has been submitted that there is no progress in the trial. Prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merit considering the statement of a seven years old boy who was son of the deceased who has stated that he has seen how his mother was brutalized by the petitioners and from the report of the trial court it appears that the trial is pending for evidence and the steps are being taken by the court for procuring the attendance of the witnesses. Considering the allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the above named 2 petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial because the petitioner is in custody since 18.02.2008. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
