IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21941 of 2010 PRAMOD KUMAR PANDEY son of Shree Ram Pandey, resident of Village Alamganj, Sasaram, Police Station Sasaram (T), District Rohtas. Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2 30/6/2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail in this application is based on an earlier observation made by this Court in the order dated 5.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No.468 of 2008, wherein while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner this Court had given liberty to him to renew his prayer for bail after a period of two years. From the records of Cr. Misc. 468 of 2008 and the report of the trial court dated 4.5.2010 at Flag-A it would transpire that the trial in hand has not progressed mainly on account of non examination of the Investigating Officer and the Informant as also the co-accused Nata Mahto jumping his bail. Considering the aforementioned aspect, this Court would not take the same risk of releasing the petitioner on bail, inasmuch as, co-accused Nata Mahto was also released on bail and thereafter he has jumped his bail. In that view of the matter, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
