IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17558 of 2010 PINTU TIWARI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 25-06-2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in a case under section 302/34 I.P.C. As per prosecution case, petitioner, Bhusan Tiwari and Mathura Shah were chasing the informant’s father with their rifle. Thereafter it is alleged that at the instigation Mathura Shah and Pintu Tiwari, this petitioner and other accused persons opened fire at his father. It is alleged that subsequently Pintu Tiwari and one more also entered the Bathan and opened fire. Learned counsel submits that petitioner is in custody for four and half years and other accused persons namely Laxman Tiwari and Rajeshwar Tiwari are already on bail. It would appear from the order dated 9-7-2009 that 5 charge sheet witnesses have already been examined. The petitioner submits that these witnesses have not supported the prosecution case. In the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to - 2 - allow bail to the petitioner which is rejected with direction to the Trial Court to conclude the trial preferably within four months from the date of receipt of this order. If trial does not stand concluded petitioner, may renew prayer for bail. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the Court of Fifth Additional Sessions Judge East Champaran Motihari for compliance of this order. S.P. (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
