IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31822 of 2010 SATISH MAHTO Versus STATE OF BIHAR -------- 03/ 02.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner is not named in the FIR but in course of investigation his name surfaced in this case. It appears from perusal of impugned order of the learned Addl. Sessions Judge VIII, Patna that petitioner carries criminal history of several cases of similar nature .So I do not think it proper to grant him bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail, in connection with Dulhin Bazar P.S. Case no 165/2009, is rejected. However, the learned court below is directed to expedite the trial of petitioner and take all possible effective steps to conclude the trial of petitioner preferably, within six months. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within the above stated period, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the trial court. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J)
