IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17237 of 2011 Md. Perwez @ Md. Perwez Alam son of Md. Islam, resident of Village-Motijheel, Police Station-Mehsi, District- East Champaran.. …..Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar….. …Opposite party ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. N.A. Samsi, Advocate For the State : Mr. Nawal Kishore Pd., A.P.P. …………… 4 09.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State and also perused the report kept at Flag- A. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections 366(A)/120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner’s prayer for bail had earlier been rejected vide order dated 8.3.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 41221 of 2009, a copy of which has been appended as Annexure- 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 29.7.2009 and it is apparent from the report that the trial has not been concluded as yet and out of 11 prosecution witnesses only 6 could be examined. It is also submitted that the main accused Pappu is still moving scott-free. 2 However, in view of the statement of the victim girl recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. making allegation against the petitioner and who has also given a graphic account of her sufferings, I am not inclined to grant bail to this petitioner for the present. As a result, this application is dismissed. However, in view of the fact that the petitioner has already remained in custody after his surrender on 29.7.2009, it is expected from the trial court that it will take steps for expeditious disposal of the trial preferably within 6 months from today. In case the trial is not concluded within 6 months, the petitioner, if so advised, would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. Sanjay-II ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
