IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42527 of 2010 MAHANAND SINGH, S/O LATE KUNJ BIHARI SINGH, R/O VILLAGE KHILWAT, P.S. BIDURPUR DISTRICT VAISHALI. ...........PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR. .......OPPOSITE PARTY. ----------- 03/ 12.05.2011 Heard Mr. Ajay Kumar Thakur, counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. This court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner especially when his prayer for bail was earlier rejected on merits by a reasoned order of this Court dated 01.04.2010, in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 38619 of 2009. Mr. Thakur however, submits that the petitioner is seriously ill and in fact has been referred to the P.M.C.H for his mental treatment. This court having examined the prescription annexed with the supplementary affidavit finds that the illness of the petitioner is of very mild nature and it would not require his treatment outside Patna. Thus the prayer for bail of the petitioner on medical grounds is rejected. The petitioner, however, is said to be in custody since 12.06.2009, i.e almost two years and the case has already been committed to the Court of Sessions. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the trial Court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is taken-up out of turn and should be concluded within a period of one year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Superintendent of Police, Vaishali is also hereby directed to ensure that the prosecution witnesses in connection with Bidupur P.S. Case No. 37/09 leading to Sessions Trial No. 391/2010 are promptly produced so that the deposition of the prosecution witnesses should be concluded/recorded within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Superintendent of Police, Vaishali having complied the order of this Court would also submit his Action Taken Report which must be filed by him on or before 12.12.2011. With the aforementioned observations and direction this application is dismissed. Let a copy of this order be sent to the trial court and Superintendent of Police, Vaishali for its strict compliance.
