IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6721 of 2010 Bhikhari Rai, Son of Shri Yogendra Rai, Resident of Village Madhukarpur, P.S. Kanhauli, District Sitamarhi. --------- Petitioner Versus State of Bihar -------- Opp. Party ----------- 2 30.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a reasoned order dated 16.9.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 32680 of 2009 wherein no such liberty was given to the petitioner, the main assailant, for moving this Court again. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, would submit that the petitioner has remained in custody for a period over ten months and therefore, that by itself would be a fresh material for renew the prayer for bail. Unfortunately, that cannot be the position in law. Once the prayer of the petitioner has been rejected on merit, all that can be done is to issue a direction to the trial court to expedite the trial of the petitioner. In other words, this Court is not 2 inclined to re-consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner taking into account that he is the main assailant. This application is accordingly dismissed with a direction to the trial court to expedite the trial. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
