IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6682 of 2009 AJAY SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 22.04.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is in custody in a Police Case under Section 302 and other provisions of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. The prayer for bail has been rejected earlier in Cr. Misc. No. 40105 of 2007. The allegations are that he is the assailant. On the submission that despite custody since 27.04.2006 charge had not been framed, the report submitted is that on one occasion when charge was to be framed the petitioner himself filed an application and requested framing of charges to be deferred. On another date the charge could not be framed as he himself went away to appear at I.A. examination from custody. It appears that there is some delay on account of the fact that the petitioner has been shifted to Chapra jail. The two districts are adjacent. Distant could not be a constraint in his production on the date fixed for framing of charges. Let the same be done expeditiously for which he is directed to be produced on the appropriate date without unnecessary delay. The trial of co-accused has already been concluded. Let the trial of the petitioner be expedited. The application is rejected. S.Sb/- (Navin Sinha, J.)
