IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38708 of 2009 RAJIV SHARMA @ AJAY SHARMA son of Ram Pravesh Sharma, resident of Village Sabdalpur, Police Station Makhdumpur, District Jehanabad. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 13/1/2010 Heard Mr. Sanjeev Ranjan, learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by order dated 23.5.2008 in Cr. Misc. No.8810 of 2008, wherein the petitioner was given liberty to move this Court for bail after initially making such prayer before the trial court which was directed to record reasons for not concluding the trial. The court below in its order has tried to explain the period of nine months in which trial of the petitioner was not concluded. Such explanation may not be satisfactory, but at the same time prosecution cannot be blamed of such delay. That being so, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present taking into account that the petitioner is also accused in seven other similar cases for the offence under sections 392 including some other similar offences. Consequently, prayer for bail of the petitioner for the time being is rejected, but then the trial court 2 is directed to ensure that trial of the petitioner is completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and if need be the trial can also be conducted on day to day basis till its completion. If the petitioner and/or any other does not co-operate in course of such trial, the court below will record the same in its order sheet and may also for this purpose cancel the bail of any non- appearing accused. With the aforementioned observation/ direction this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
