The petitioner is accused in a case under sections 394, 411 and 120B of the Penal Code. The name of the petitioner has transpired in the confessional statement of co-accused as well as his own confessional statement. It is stated that on the basis of the confessional statement of the petitioner, a sum of Rs. 65,000/- was recovered from his possession. The petitioner is in custody since 17.11.2009 and the trial of the court has commenced. Other witnesses have been examined except for the informant. In the circumstances I direct that the trial court should take all steps to ensure that the informant is examined by issuing bailable and, if necessary, non-bailable warrant of arrest. The court should also take steps to ensure the appearance of the informant by directing the office to contact the concerned police station. The court may also inform the Superintendent of Police that the I.O. of the case would be required to be examined giving specific date for his examination. The trial of the case should be concluded expeditiously as far as possible. In case the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner shall have the liberty to move for bail.
