Misc. No.5020 of 2009 as also counsel for the State. By the earlier order dated 24.6.2009 this Court had passed the following order:- “In this peculiar case, where sentiments are running very high on account of the deceased being an Advocate and Ex Additional Public Prosecutor, this Court would deem it expedient in the interest of justice to transfer the trial of this case from Begusrai district to Patna district. This has become necessary in view of the fact that the petitioner is not even able to engage a lawyer for his defence on account of resolution being taken in the bar at Begusrai for not representing the case of the petitioner, the alleged assailant of Late Ram Naresh Sharma, an Advocate and Ex-A.P.P. Let the records of trial of the petitioner and the connected trial of Lutan Choudhary be transmitted to the Sessions Judge, Patna, who will personally hear this case and dispose it of within a period of nine months from the date of receipt of this order.” Mr. Pandey, however, would point out that in fact there are three cases which are pending for the issue in question, being Sessions Trial Nos. 335 of 2008, 336 of 2008 and 579 of 2008. It is submitted that all three of them should be tried at one place. Mr. S.M. Sabbir Alam, learned counsel who was appearing on behalf of Ram Chandra Thakur in Cr. Misc. No.5020 2 of 2009, has got no objection. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct that trial of all the three Sessions cases, namely, Sessions Trial Nos. 335 of 2008, 336 of 2008 and 579 of 2008 shall be conducted by the same court at Patna. The Courts in seisin with the records of the aforementioned Sessions cases are directed to send the records to the District Judge, Patna for its being placed before one and the same Court. In view of the present order, the time limit to conclude the trial is hereby extended by further period of nine months. With the aforementioned direction the application for modification stands disposed of.
