IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19491 of 2010 Arun Mandal, Son of Late Anandi Mandal, Resident of Village Borwa, P.S Parbatta, District-Bhagalpur. ----------Petitioner Versus State of Bihar -----------Opp. Party ----------- 3. 11.10.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as also taking into account that the prayer for bail of the petitioner has already been rejected on merit by an order dated 14.1.2010 in Cr.Misc. No. 40126 of 2009, this Court is not inclined to again reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. This Court had called for a report from the trial court and the trial court in its report at Flag-X has indicated that the trial has already commenced and three witnesses have also been examined on or before 26.8.2010. The trial court has also expressed its hope that the trial would be concluded within a period of six months. That being so, this Court, while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner, would direct the trial court to ensure that the its assurance given for concluding the trial within the time limit, as indicated above, is carried out in letter and spirit. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded in the aforementioned period, the petitioner will have liberty to move the trial court, which then would record reasons for not concluding the trial, whereafter only, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
