IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.9586 of 2010 RITESH KUMAR, SON OF SRI DINESHWAR PRASAD SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- KAMALPURA, POLICE STATION PUNPUN, DISTRICT-PATNA. …..Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …..Opposite Party. For the Petitioner : Mr. Ravi Ranjan I (Adv.) For the State : APP. ----------- 07/ 03.11.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the State. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected twice. Submission is that though the petitioner is in custody since 26.03.2007 but till date not even one witness has been examined by the prosecution. Charges have already been framed on 01.09.2008. A report was called for and from the report it appears that there is no progress in the trial and not even one witness has been examined by now. But the allegation against petitioner is that he is the assailant of the deceased. Considering this his prayer for bail was earlier rejected. The petitioner is described as the assailant, so his prayer for bail is again rejected but considering the detention of the petitioner, the court below is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it within one 2 year from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and if the trial is not concluded within the stipulated period then the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court below. kksinha/- (Shyam kishore Sharma, J.)
