IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1644 of 2011 BRIJNANDAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 25.02.2011 Heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr. U. S. Singh learned counsel appearing for the state. Petitioner is facing trial in connection with Sessions Trial No. 1682 of 2009 arising out of Khusrupur P.S. Case No. 46 of 2009 in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-II, Patna City. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is in jail custody since 18.03.2009 and uptill now, only four witnesses have been examined in this case and all the above-said prosecution witnesses have not made any allegation against the petitioner. It appears from perusal of the record that the petitioner is said to be main assailant and still some prosecution witnesses are left to be examined. In the aforesaid circumstances, I do not feel it proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial of the petitioner as soon as possible preferably within a - 2 - period of nine months and if the aforesaid trial is not concluded within the above-said period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
