IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24216 of 2010 GANESH MAHTO, S/O PATI MAHTO, R/O VILLAGE BANTAIL RAMU KA TOLA, P.S. KUCHAIKOTE, DISTRICT- GOPALGANJ. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 5. 11/05/2011 Petitioner is in custody since 30.9.2008. His earlier bail application was rejected by this Court by order dated 15.10.2009 passed in Cr.Misc.No.32987 of 2009, finding that he was the main assailant. The court below was directed to make all endeavours to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible and preferably within six months, failing which petitioner was granted liberty to move for bail again. Trial has not been concluded within six months and therefore, petitioner has renewed his prayer. From the certified copy of the order sheet produced on behalf of the petitioner, it appears that after framing of charge on 6.7.2010 the prosecution has not taken prompt steps in examining its witnesses and time and again case was adjourned to enable the prosecution to produce witnesses. Considering the lack of interest shown by the prosecution for early conclusion of trial 2 inspite of time granted by this Court, this application is allowed. Let petitioner Ganesh Mahto be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gopalganj in Kuchaikote P.S.Case No.150/08, Tr.No.2089/08.
