Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 27.10.2009. Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The petitioner is facing prosecution under Section 16(I)(a)(i)(ii) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and the report of chemical analyst is absolutely against him. To top it all, the petitioner has evaded the process of law by remaining absconder for a period of almost 11 years. All these circumstances are good enough for rejection of the prayer for bail of the petitioner. But considering the fact that authorities also after launching the prosecution in the year 1996 had taken no steps for concluding the trial even after the petitioner has remained in custody since 8.8.2009, this Court would direct for release of the petitioner on bail on or after 8th December 2009 if in the meantime the trial against the petitioner which is, summon trial, is not completed. The trial court is therefore directed to ensure that the trial of 2 the petitioner is taken up out of turn and is completed within the aforementioned period. If the trial of the petitioner is not completed by 8th December 2009 for laches solely attributable to the prosecution, the petitioner namely Ram Kishore Prasad will be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Nawada in connection with G.
