IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.29958 of 2011 ============================================= Navlesh Singh @ Lavlesh Singh .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ============================================= 2 22-09-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner though was allowed bail in a case registered under Section 302 of the I.P.C. but jumped the bail and remained away from the trial for a period of 19 years and was arrested. So, expeditious trial assuring presence of this petitioner is necessary in the case and that is more assured in case when he remains in custody. Hence, prayer of the petitioner for bail is rejected. However, Trial Court is expected to conclude the trial within a period of 9 months. In case trial is not concluded within that period, petitioner is directed to renew his prayer for bail.
