IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32551 of 2009 SHAMBHU THAKUR, son of late Badri Thakur, resident of village Khanghar, P.S. Malsalami, District Patna Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 14.9.2009 Surendra/ Heard counsel for the parties. Considering the nature of allegation, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, who is said to have been lit the deceased on fire. The petitioner is in custody since 4.1.2009 though he was named accused in the F.I.R. dated 8.12.2007. That being so, this Court while rejecting prayer for bail of the petitioner would direct the court below to ensure that the segregated trial of the petitioner is completed within a period of one year from today. In the event the trial will not be concluded in the aforementioned period of one year the petitioner will have the liberty initially to move the trial court which will have to record reasons for not concluding the trial, whereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court.
