IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47016 of 2008 RAJU PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 3.12.2008 Heard Sri Rajani Kant Pandey, Advocate for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The case relates to the recovery of arms from the possession of the present petitioner when the police captured him from the assemblies of certain dacoits who had made preparation for committing dacoity. The contention is that the petitioner is in custody since 21.1.2006, i.e., for over two years and his trial has not been concluded. The court is concerned about the slow progress of the trial but as regards the prayer for bail, I am not inclined to direct the release of the above named petitioner on bail. It is confronted with the fact that the petitioner bears a very long and glittering criminal history. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
