IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28779 of 2009 VIJAY SAHNI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 27.08.2009 Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits before this Court that although the petitioner who is an accused of an offence punishable under section 376 IPC is in custody since 16.11.2006, but till date not a single witness has been examined in the case. The charges were framed on 28.11.2007. Looking to the period of incarceration, this Court is persuaded to observe that if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded by examining all the prosecution witnesses within eight month from the dated of receipt/communication of this order in the court below, the petitioner shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail before this Court. With this direction/observation, the application is dismissed. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
