IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35593 of 2008 MAHESH SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 16.09.2008 Heard. Let the petitioner approach the lower court first with the similar prayer. The petitioner is in custody since 30.3.2005 and it is expected that the trial court must have made some headway in hearing the trial. The court is not aware of whether the trial has been concluded or not. The petitioner has pointed out that the trial has not been concluded, but some witnesses have really been examined. The court has set out the period of three months for conclusion of the trial, but that order passed in Cr. Misc. No. 50661 of 2007 itself indicates that the case was lying before a vacant court, as such, it could be appreciated that what could be the reasons for not achieving the time frame. Still this court desires the petitioner to approach the lower court and the lower court must point out to this court as to what are the impediments on account of which the trial could not be concluded till date and by what many more months the court would be able to conclude the trial. The rejection order, if any, it is passed by the trial court, then the petitioner may approach this court again. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J)
