IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44408 of 2010 DINESH SINGH son of Chhotelal Singh, resident of village-Bhadas, P.S.-Khagaria (Mufassil), District- Khagaria …… ……. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …… …… Respondents ----------- 3. 4.5.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A.M.P.Mehta, learned Additional Public Prosecutor. This is the second attempt for grant of bail. Earlier, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 8.3.2010 vide Cr. Misc. No.37193 of 2009 with a direction to the court below for conclusion of the trial expeditiously. By order dated 16.3.2011 a report was called for from the court below which has been received and is kept at flag ‘A’. The report indicates that out of thirteen witnesses, eleven witnesses have already been examined and two investigating officers are required to be examined as prosecution witnesses. Despite best efforts taken by the trial court, they have not been examined. In view of the fact that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on merit and the trial is going on, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, keeping in view the earlier order dated 8.3.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No.37193 of 2009, it is desirable to direct the court below to take all steps to conclude the trial without any delay. From the report it is evident that the court below had taken steps for securing attendance of two investigation officers. 2 However, they have not appeared. In this view of the matter, it is desirable to direct the concerned Superintendent of Police i.e. Superintendent of Police, Khagaria and the Inspector General of Police (Administration), Patna to ensure presence of two investigating officers before the court below for their examination. The Superintendent of Police, Khagaria and the Inspector General of Police (Administration), Patna should take all steps for securing attendance of investigating officers before the trial court within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With above observation and direction, the bail petition stands rejected. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the Superintendent of Police, Khagaria and the Inspector General of Police (Administration), Patna. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
