IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.33539 of 2009 NAVIN SINGH, son of Late Baleshwar Singh, resident of village Chainpura, P.S. Warisaliganj, District Nawada Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 7.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Considering the nature of allegation as also past dubious conduct and the criminal record of the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is, hereby, rejected. The petitioner is in custody for the last three years and therefore, this Court would direct the trial court to take up the trial of the petitioner on expeditious basis and ensure that the same is concluded expeditiously preferably within a period of one year from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. In the event the trial is not concluded within the aforementioned period of one year, the petitioner will have the liberty initially to move the trial court which would be under obligation to spell out the reasons for not concluding the trial. 2 Only thereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
