No.50211 of 2008 POLA RAM, son of late Sukdeo Ram, resident of village Lasgaripur, Police Station Kanti, district Muzaffarpur .. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR .. Opposite Party **** /3/ 05.10.2009 Heard both the sides. 2. The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted under Sections 395 and 397 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Taking into consideration the report of the trial 2 Court that out of ten witnesses, seven witnesses have already been examined, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. The prayer for bail is rejected even though co- accused, Sanjay Ram, similarly placed, has been granted bail by this Court upon an observation made earlier in his case. The trial Court is directed to expedite the trial so as to conclude it within a reasonable time. S.A. (Anjana Prakash, J.)
