IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.24921 of 2011 Mahesh Yadav Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04/ 25.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this court vide order dated 11.1.2011 passed in Cr. Misc. no. 31068/2010. but submission on behalf of the petitioner is that there is no progress in the trial of the petitioner whereas he is in jail custody since 2.2.2010. The trial court has reported that the case is fixed for evidence but the Presiding officer concerned is on leave and that is why there is no progress in the trial of the petitioner. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, particularly, keeping in mind that there is specific allegation of firing against the petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However the learned Sessions Judge, Begusarai shall look into the matter and ensure conclusion of the trial of the petitioner in Sessions Trial no. 69 of 2011/ 28 of 2011 arising out of Samho P.S. Case no. 21/2008 within six months from the date of receipt of this order to his court, even by transferring the case of the petitioner in another court. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail, if his trial is - 2 - not concluded within the above stated period. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
