IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36630 of 2010 PRADEEP CHOUDHARY & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 11.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, who is armed with carbon copy of the case diary. This application has been filed on behalf of the petitioner in connection with Maheshkhunt P.S. Case No. 38 of 2010, G.R. No. 363/2010 for the offence under sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 307, 302, 379, 341, 504 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria. Petitioners are named accused in this case out of sixteen, they carry allegation of indiscriminate firing upon the deceased who though carry criminal antecedents. It is pointed out that trial has already commenced and learned counsel representing the informant undertakes to cooperate the trial court in early disposal of the case within six months and get the witnesses produced on the date fixed for the purpose. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, at this stage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on regular bail. Hence, prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is rejected. Simultaneously, court below is directed to proceed expeditiously and preferably conclude the trial within six months, failing which the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew the prayer before the court below itself who shall also consider the assistance if provided by the informant.
