IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37716 of 2008 VIVEK KUMAR PRASAD SON OF SHAMBHU PRASAD RESIDENT OF MOHALLA SHANKER CHAUK,WARD NO.10, MADHUBANI P.S.MADHUBANI,DISTRICT MADHUBANI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5/ 20.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in a case which has been registered for offences under Sections 498 and 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. By order dated 31.3.2009 a report was called for and it was asked about approximate time which is likely to be taken in conclusion of trial. Report has been received. Though the report does not mention any approximate time but it appears that nine witnesses have been examined on behalf of the prosecution. Considering the report, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, trial court is directed to conclude the trial as soon as possible.
