IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26171 of 2009 BULU YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 2.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. Though the petitioner claims privilege of bail only on the ground that the case filed against him initially as a complaint case and later on investigated by the police on the orders of the Magistrate in terms of section 156(3) Cr.P.C. arises out of land dispute, this much becomes clear from paragraph 6 of the impugned order rejecting bail of the petitioner that the weapon (sword) used by him had caused grievous injury. The petitioner is in custody since 21.5.2009 i.e. for a period of three months at best. Considering the nature of allegation as also conduct of the petitioner of remaining absconding for a period of nearly three years, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail initially before the trial court after a period of one year of his 2 judicial custody is completed but in the meantime the trial court should also make all endeavor to complete the trial so that after expiry of the period of nine months from today, when the petitioner would approach for bail the trial court should be in a position to record the reasons for not concluding the trial. The petitioner will have a liberty to move this Court only after he approaches the court below in the manner indicated above. With the aforementioned observations, this application is dismissed.
