IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16075 of 2010 BARUN LAL S/O LATE YUGAL LAL R/O VILLAGE- KACHANPUR, P.S.- KUTUMBA AND DISTT.- AURANGABAD ……………… Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …………. Opposite Party ----------- 2. 06.01.2011 Heard the parties. The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 8.2.2010 passed by learned F.T.C. IV, Aurangabad in S. Tr. No. 160/05/163/09 by which he has closed the case without allowing charge sheeted witnesses to be examined on behalf of the defence. From the order impugned it appears that the case was closed way back in October 2008 where after on repeated dates arguments were heard on behalf of the parties where after on 10.12.2009 the application was filed to examine 3 charge sheet witness on behalf of the defence. With regard to the Ram Pravesh Pandey it was noticed that he was already dead and, therefore, there was no question of examination whereas with regard to the rest of the 2 witnesses the Trial Court had taken all steps for their examination where after the case was closed. Under these circumstances, I see no reason why the trial should further be protracted for this reason alone. The application is dismissed with a direction to the Trial Court to conclude the trial within a period of 3 months on receipt of this order. Fahad. ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
