IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.55735 of 2007 Raj Kumar Das, son of Bishundeo Das, village Persondo, PS Kharagpur, District Munger – Petitioner. Vs. The State of Bihar. 12 29.7.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the A.P.P. representing the State. The petitioner is in custody for three years in a case under sections 302, 307, 323, 324, 427, 379/34 of the Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act, sections 3/4 of the Explosives Substance Act and section 17 of the Criminal Amendment Act. It appears that twenty two witnesses have already been examined in this case and only one witness remains to be examined. In the circumstances I do not think it proper that the petitioner should be granted bail by this court. This application is dismissed. The trial court, however, will consider the case on merits and the trial may be expedited and concluded preferably within four months. Let the case diary and other records, if any, be sent to the trial court forthwith. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
