IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42841 of 2009 KAMTA YADAV, Son of Late Nanhku Yadav, resident of Village-Baruha, P.S. Bagengola, District-Buxar -- Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04 05-03-2010 Heard Mr.Krishna Prasad Singh, learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is in custody in Bagengola P.S. Case No.17 of 2008 corresponding to Sessions Trial No.126 of 2009 for the offences under Sections 147,148,149,368 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. Learned senior counsel while pressing the bail petition has referred to Annexures 4 and 5 of the petition which are the order dated 1.10.2008 passed in Cr.Misc.No.32853 of 2008 and order dated 20.1.2009, whereby Cr.Misc.No.50719 of 2009 and Cr.Misc.No.51226 of 2008 were allowed. Learned senior counsel submits that some of the accused having similar allegation have already been granted bail by this Court and, as such, the petitioner may be granted the same privilege. He further submits that the petitioner is in jail for more than eleven months. I have perused Annexures referred to above. Those - 2 - accused persons were granted bail prior to the month of July,2009. The present case was registered in the month of May, 2008. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. and subsequently after issuance of processes under Sections 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. the petitioner could be taken into custody. Learned counsel for the State while referring the case diary submits that the petitioner is not having clean antecedent and he is accused in three other cases relating to serious offences. Be that as it may, since in this case charges have already been framed on 9.7.2009 and the case, as appears from the impugned order, was fixed for evidence, it is not desirable to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J)
