IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39982 of 2010 Nand Kumar Singh, s/o Rajesh Singh, resident of Village Patanwakala, P.O. Indrapuri, P.S. Dehri- Indrapuri, District Rohtas, Bihar. ------ Petitioner Versus State of Bihar ----- Opp. Party ----------- 4 20.4.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into account that the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on merit, this Court, by also taking into account that the trial of the petitioner is at the verge of completion as pointed out by the court below in its report dated 11.3.2011, would not be inclined for release of the petitioner on bail. The trial court, however, is directed to ensure that the trial of the petitioner and other accused persons is concluded expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial court would find that it is the defence which is causing delay in concluding the trial, it will record such fact in the order-sheet and would proceed to dispose of the matter strictly in accordance with law. This application is accordingly disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
