IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13182 of 2008 BAHUJAN SAHNI @ BAUJAN SAHNI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 14.5.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is accused in a kidnapping case and also an absconder. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release him on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected but considering the fact that he is in jail custody for one and a half year, trial court (A.D.J., F.T.C.-II, Vaishali at Hajipur) is directed to expedite the trial (S.T.No. 466 of 2007, arising out of Jandaha P.S.Case No. 33 of 2001) and conclude the same within a reasonable period. Let a copy of this order be forwarded to the Senior Superintendent of Police and the Officer-in-Charge concerned to produce the witnesses on each and every date fixed as also to the trial court who should examine the witnesses with all promptitude at its command.
