IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41284 of 2008 1. KAILASH MANJHI 2. BATHU MANJHI Versus 1. STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04 23.12.2008 Nobody appears on call. Petitioners are accused in a case instituted under Sections 341,447,504,307/34 of the Penal Code. Later on Section 302 of the Penal Code was added. It appears earlier their application for grant of bail was considered and rejected under orders dated 28.05.2008 (Annexure-1) to this application. In its preceding order dated 12.11.2008 status report of the case was called for. The same has been received and placed on record at flag ‘X’. This court perused the said report which indicated that the I.O. of this case is required to be examined and if he does not turn up, the prosecution evidence shall be closed and matter will proceed. It has been specifically stated therein that the trial in all likelihood is likely to be concluded by the end of December. Having regard to the fact that earlier their application for bail stood rejected and the trial is under way and is likely to be concluded within a month, this court is not inclined to admit the petitioners to bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail stands rejected. Sym ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.) 2
