IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19095 of 2009 MUKUL @ THAKRAL Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 8.7.2009 Heard the learned Counsels for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner has come to this Court earlier on several occasions seeking bail in a police case under Sections 302 and 384/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prayer was rejected noticing the direct nature of allegation against him. It is now submitted that he is in custody since 14.5.2004 and the Investigating Officer and the Medical Officer were not coming for deposition. That does not persuade this Court to grant bail. The application is rejected. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna is directed to ensure from the data base of the Officers that proper communication is made and the Investigating Officer concerned appears to depose in the trial forthwith. In the event of lack of cooperation by the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna the Court below shall bring the matter to the attention of this Court. Likewise the Civil Surgeon, Patna is directed to ensure that the Medical Officer concerned appears to depose. Any non-cooperation by the Civil Surgeon, Patna shall be adequately brought to the attention of this Court by the Court below. This Court expects that the deposition of the two witnesses - 2 - shall preferably be completed within a maximum period of three months. (Navin Sinha,J.) A.Kumar
