IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.47883 of 2008 THIRTHANAND SINGH …. PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …. OPP. PARTY ----------- 2. 4.12.2008 Heard Sri Manoj Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner and Sri D. Mehta, APP for the State. Regard being had to the fact that other family members of the petitioner are also figuring as an accused, who were on trial and the petitioner remained absent away from the court for a period of about 12 years, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner on bail. The petition is dismissed. Let trial court be expedite the hearing. If the trial is not concluded within a further period of six months, the trial court shall itself release the petitioner on bail on execution of a bond to its own satisfaction.
