IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37007 of 2010 INDRAJEET KOERI @ LAL MUNI KOERI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/- 10-03-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, who is armed with carbon copy of the case diary. This application has been filed on behalf of the petitioner in connection with S.Tr. No. 79 of 2010 (arising out of Kargahar P.S. Case No. 27/1998), pending in the court of learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Rohtas (Sasaram). In this thirteen years old case, petitioner’s name emerged during investigation in confessional statement of some of the apprehended persons. No doubt, some accused persons facing trial have been acquitted, petitioner who carries several criminal antecedent could be remanded roughly a year before when apprehended in another case and his trial has also been commenced. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, at this stage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. Simultaneously, trial court is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and preferably dispose of the same within a year from communication of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer before the trial court itself.
