1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5514 of 2009 RAJESH CHAUDHARY SON OF SRI PARSAN CHAUDHARY RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KARMA,P.S.BAGHAILA (NOKHA),DISTT.ROHTAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 30.6.2009 Called for report regarding stage of trial has been received. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected twice. Initially a case was registered for offences under Sections 307 and some other Sections of the Indian Penal Code on 16.9.2006 but after death of one of the injured, Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code has been added vide order dated 6.10.2006. On the earlier occasion, when the report regarding stage of trial was called for, the trial court in his report had reported that after framing of charge, the trial shall be concluded within four months. It appears that the charges were framed on 20.8.2008 and thereafter, out of eleven prosecution witnesses, one witness had appeared but his cross- examined was not completed and despite several directions to the Addl.Public prosecutor, the said witness and other witnesses have not turned up, meaning thereby, not even one prosecution witness has been examined as yet. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the above named petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge/concerned court, Rohtas at Sasaram in Sessions 2 Trial No. 211 of 2007 arising out of Nokha P.S.Case No. 181 of 2006.
