IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24528 of 2009 HAGAN YADAV S/O PITAMBAR YADAV, R/O VILLAGE- KHIRI,P.S.- PARAIYA,DISTRICT- GAYA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 09/09/2009 Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on four occasions by this court and lastly on 23.1.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 48427 of 2008. Submission is that the petitioner is in custody since 1.9.2005 and the trial has not yet been concluded. Report called for from the court below has been received. It appears from the report that eight witnesses have been examined by now. Considering the advanced stage of the trial, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail again rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody for more than four years. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
