IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24074 of 2008 JAIKISHUN SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 23.07.2008 The order under challenge is dated 05.03.2008 passed in N.D.P.S Case No. 77 of 2005 by learned Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C. No.-III, I/C, Motihari. Earlier prayer for bail of this petitioner was rejected with an observation that the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after examination of official witnesses who were instrumental in apprehending him in the court below itself. It appears that two witnesses have been examined out of them, P.W. 4 happens to be an official witness who has failed to give any specific disclosure as to whether seized materials were recovered from conscious possession of this petitioner. Of course, I.O. has not been examined in the case. The accused is facing trial for a long time, who is in custody since 11.09.2005. So, all efforts should be taken to examine the I.O. and all effective and coercive steps shall be taken against the I.O. for his appearance in court by issuing warrant of arrest. For the present, I am not inclined to grant him bail. The prayer for bail of the petitioner Jaikishun Sah stands rejected. Sanjeet (Subash Chandra Jha, J.)
