IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.25898 of 2011 Sheikh Amil, son of Sheikh Khalil, resident of village Samauta, P.S. Sathi, District West Champaran Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 2. 28.9.2011 Having heard counsel for the parties and taking into account that the delay in concluding trial is not attributable to the prosecution as noted in the order of the Sessions Judge, this Court would find that if the trial of the petitioner could not be concluded within a period of one year, that by itself would not make the petitioner entitled for grant of bail. The petitioner unfortunately not only faces the allegation of committing cheating but also is said to have misbehaved with a lawyer during recording of deposition of the witness and for which a complaint has been filed by the aggrieved lawyer. The said conduct of the petitioner by itself would not inspire confidence in this Court as with regard to bonafide of the petitioner. Considering all these aspects this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and his prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected with a direction to the court below that the trial of the petitioner be expedited and if all the accused persons remain present either by themselves or through the representation, the trial must be concluded within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order keeping in view that three additionally summoned accused persons have already 2 appeared pursuant to the order of grant of their bail containing specific condition for cancellation of their bail on account of their non-appearance.
