IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32638 of 2009 ZAHIR MADARI Son of Md. Insan Madari, resident of Village-Dumari Baiju, P.S. Patahi, District-East Champaran. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 16/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering nature of allegation and the material collected against the petitioner as also criminal antecedent of being an accused in seven cases, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner who is said to be in custody since 14.6.2009 in connection with the present case. At the same time, as the case in hand would involve only official witnesses being members of the police party, this Court would direct the trial court to take up the trial of the petitioner out of turn and ensure that the same is concluded by month of June, 2010. In the event, trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the period as aforementioned the trial court will have to record reasons on an application filed by the petitioner seeking bail and thereafter if this Court would find that trial of the petitioner has been delayed only on account of laches/lapses on the part of the prosecution his prayer for bail may be reconsidered.
