IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16515 of 2008 AWADHESH YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR WITH Cr.Misc. No.16411 of 2008 AWADHESH YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6 23.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. In both the bail applications, the petitioner is an accused under several serious offences under the I.P.C. and the Arms Act. The matter relates to the year 1999. The above order of the learned Sessions Judge records that the petitioner has only recently surrendered before the Superintendent of Police of the District and would now like to join the mainstream by leaving his past behind. Keeping the above fact in mind that the trials of these cases have not been possible because the petitioner has been fugitive from law, the Court would not like to jeopardize the trial of these two cases by enlarging him on bail at this stage. The trial court below in both the cases are hereby directed to now ensure that an early trial held in the matters and the 1999 cases are brought to rest at the earliest. The bail application at this stage is rejected. Rajeev/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
