IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6019 of 2010 SUJIT KUMAR son of Sri Gulab Singh R/o Near Ram Janki Mandir Gali, Renter of Dasrath Rai, Mainpura P.S.-Patliputra, Dist.-Patna. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 4.3.2010. Heard Mr. Kritu Verma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Uma Shankar Prasad Singh, learned APP for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Pataliputra P.S. Case No.22 of 2009 registered for the offence under section 394 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 24.1.2009. It appears that trial has already commenced and atleast two witnesses have already been examined during the trial. Accordingly, it is not advisable to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, it is desirable to direct the trial court to conclude the trial expeditiously preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to renew his prayer for bail. It is made clear that the defence will not take any step to delay the conclusion of the trial only with a view to circumvent this order. With the above observation and direction, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
