IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8133 of 2011 Ashok Rai, Son of Sri Nand Kishore Rai, Resident of Village Mushari Tola, Naugachia, PS Naugachia, District Bhagalpur --- Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar ---- Opposite Party ----------- 3 14.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code as also various sections of the Arms Act. The bail application of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that he was the person who shot dead the informant’s son by firing a pistol shot at his head. This Court called for a report from the Additional Sessions Judge II, Naugachia regarding the progress of the case. The report indicates that the progress is delayed because of the fact that the original records i.e. Sessions Trial No. 747 of 2002 were required by the Hon’ble High Court for reference in Cr. Appeal (DB) No. 850 of 2006. The original records have now been received by the Court below. Since then, five witnesses have been examined. The formal witnesses i.e. the Investigating 2 Officer and the Doctor are yet to be examined. The Court below will take steps by issuing summons, non-bailable warrant of arrest and warrant or arrest, if required, to secure the attendance of the Investigating Officer and the Doctor. The trial should be expedited. This application is thus, disposed of. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
