IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31271 of 2009 RAM PRASAD MUKHIA, Son of Sri Sundar Mukhia, resident of Village-Barawa, P.S. Madhepur ( R.S. Shivir), District-Madhubani ----------- Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 08 04-03-2010 Heard Mr. N.K.Agrawal, learned Senior counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Madhepur( R.S. Shivir) P.S. Case No.225 of 2007 for the offences under Sections 302 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The prayer for bail of this petitioner was earlier rejected vide Cr.Misc.No.5692 of 2009 on 23.4.2009 and, as such, there is no reason to hear the learned counsel for the petitioner on the merit of the case. Since the petitioner is in jail since 28.4.2008, it is not appropriate to keep the petitioner behind the bar without trial. A report was called for. From the report, which is kept at Flag-A, it appears that the police papers were not even supplied to the accused persons. However, the learned - 2 - counsel for the petitioner submits that now the case has already been committed to the court of Sessions. In view of the fact that the case has already been committed to the court of Sessions, it is advisable for the learned counsel for the petitioner to renew the prayer for bail of this petitioner after framing of the charge. The trial court is also directed to take steps for framing of charge without any delay. The prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after framing of the charge. With the above observation and direction, this application stands rejected. Let this order be communicated to the learned Addl.Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhanjharpur ( Madhubani) in connection with Madhepur ( R.S. Shivir) P.S. Case No.225 of 2007( G.R. Case No.957 of 2007) through fax at the cost of the petitioner. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J)
