IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34481 of 2008 SUKHDEO RAVIDAS, son of Sahdeo Ravidas@ Sadhwa Ravidas, resident of village Rupabell Tolla Khutitar (Bartar), P.S. Khaira, District Jamui ….. Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR …… Opposite party ----------- 03/ 11.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case, which was initially registered for the offence under Sections 364A/34 of the Indian Penal Code, but subsequently on the basis of the confessional statement of a co-accused, Section 302,201 of the Indian Penal Code was also added. He is named in the First Information Report along with five others and is alleged to have abducted the husband of the informant and were identified by the informant during the night by means of torch light. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail even when he has remained in jail custody for about two years. However, considering the period of incarceration of the petitioner as under trial prisoner, I direct the court below to commit the case to the court of Sessions forthwith, if not already committed and thereafter the trial court should proceed with the trial and conclude the same as early as possible, in any case within nine months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order.
