IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.10181 of 2009 KAMPU YADAV @ RAMESHWAR YADAV, son of Ram Sewak Yadav, resident of village – Barhi Kalapatti, P.S. – Phulparas, District - Madhubani Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 07.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. It is a case where petitioner has been taken in custody on 25.11.2008 after he was declared an absconder in a case instituted way back in the year 1992 for an offence under sections 302/201 of the Indian Penal Code. Because of the conduct of the petitioner the trial has remained pending for more than 17 years now. The criminal justice cannot be allowed to be derailed by imposing trust and faith on such an accused and he cannot be given benefit of bail a second time over which will delay the trial further. This Court is not inclined to extend the benefit of bail a second time over. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. The court below will be well advised to expedite the trial of the case. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
