IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.17698 of 2009 SAKALU MAHATO @ SAKLU MAHTO, son of Mahendra Mahato, resident of village- Madhaypur Tara, P.S. Dalsingsarai, Dist.- Samastipur. …Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR …O P ----------- 3/ 18.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under sections 364-A, 302, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Taking into consideration the fact that the dead body was recovered at the instance of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The report of the trial court shows that even though the petitioner is in custody since 12.3.2005, and charge was framed on 10.4.2007, only two out of eleven witnesses have been examined till date. It is very unfortunate situation. The trial court will take effective steps for conclusion of the trial at his end and ensure that speedy justice is meted out to the parties concerned.
