IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27880 of 2009 VIKASH CHANDRA @ VIKASH JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 4.11.2009 Heard Sri Chitranjan Sinha, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also heard Sri D.Mehta, learned counsel for the State. My order dated 30.6.2008 passed in Cr.Misc.Petition No.16223 of 2008 with some typographical errors appears telling the true facts which ultimately depicts the act of the petitioner. Considering those facts as narrated in the above order, I am at all not convinced on the argument of the petitioner remaining in custody for about two years, the prayer is dismissed. However, I could direct the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to note that it could be one of the crimes which used to hit the roads of Patna a few years back making it unsafe for the gentry of the state to come out and trade on public roads and market places. The crime reported through Budha Colony P.S.Case No.197 of 2007 also exhibits as to how the - 2 - criminals used to have a deep net-work involving many persons doing separate acts after commission of the offence. I would therefore direct the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to depute an officer in the rank of Circle Inspector of Police for picking the witnesses of the above noted case and producing them before F.T.C.No./III, Patna before which Sessions Trial No.1590 of 2008 is pending which arises of the above noted case, so that the trial is taken up on a day-to-day basis. The Presiding Officer of the Court shall accord top priority to this case and examine the witnesses or take other evidences on priority in the above case and attempt to dispose of the trial in one year’s time. The time frame should never be construed to keep the case pending if the evidence is closed by the prosecution at an early date. Let a copy of this order be sent to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna for information and compliance. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
