IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.33480 of 2011 Ramprit Paswan S/O Late Rameshwar Paswan R/O Village - Wanwaripur, P.S. Wena, District – Nalanda….. Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar … Opposite Party For the Petitioner: Mr. Binit Kumar, Advocate For the State: Mr. A.P.P. For the Informant: Mr. Anjani Kumar, Sr. Advocate ---------------------------------- 3 14.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and the informant. I have also perused the report kept at Flag A. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act. Petitioner’s prayer for bail was earlier rejected twice, i.e., on first occasion vide order dated 26.03.2010 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 3326 of 2010 and thereafter on 09.02.2011 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 34903 of 2010, a copy of which has been appended as Annexure 1. However, liberty was granted to the petitioner to renew his prayer for grant of bail in the event the trial is not concluded within a period six months. However, at the time of hearing, it has jointly been submitted that all the prosecution witnesses have already been examined and the statements of the accused 2 persons have been recorded under section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on 13.12.2011. In above view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. As a result, this application is dismissed. However, I direct the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of two months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period of two months without there being any fault on the part of the petitioner, then if he so desires, he will be at liberty to renew his prayer for grant of bail.
