IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22076 of 2010 SANJAY RAI @ DALLU, Son of Sri Bhawan Rai, Resident of village – Madhupur, P.s. Bihta, District Patna ……. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ……. Opposite Party ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Birendra Kumar, Advocate For the State : None ------ 6 13.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. No one appears on behalf of the State. Perused the report kept at flag ‘X’. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, ,504, 506 and 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code. However, subsequently, after the death of the victim Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code was added. Petitioner’s prayer for bail has earlier been rejected vide order dated 06.10.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 20033 of 2009 as contained in Annexure 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in all four witnesses have been examined during trial, however, no witness could be examined after 7.10.2010. Petitioner’s prayer for bail had been rejected 2 earlier as stated above and no fresh ground could be set forth by the petitioner for grant of bail. Thus, the prayer for bail is again rejected. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. However, since the petitioner is in custody since 11.9.2007 and even though the charges have been framed on 4th of June, 2009, the trial could not be concluded till date as only four witnesses could be examined. In above view of the matter, it would be expected from the trial court to take every possible step for disposal of the concerned trial preferably within six months. If the trial is not concluded within six months, then, if so advised, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Spd/- ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
