IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30191 of 2009 NARESH YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 04-11-2009 Heard. Earlier the prayer for bail was rejected by the Court twice, once by me in Cr.Misc. No. 18725 of 2008. My order expressed an anguish on the pendency of the case in the light of the fact that the petitioner was in custody and the case, which was pending for evidence since 22nd of September, 2005, was not progressing further as regards the examination of the witnesses. Susri Juhi Kumari, learned counsel for the petitioner, has submitted that till date only six witnesses have been examined and the petitioner has remained in custody for about five years and four months. It is really disturbing that in spite of five years having passed the Judge or judges, who received Sessions Trial No. 206 of 2005, in the judgeship of Bhojpur at Ara could not dispose of the case. Considering incarceration of the petitioner, Naresh Yadav, and also considering that the trial is not being disposed of, let the petitioner be enlarged from custody on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional District and Sessions Judge, Ist, - 2 - Patna in connection with S.Tr. No. 206 of 2005, arising out of Sultanganj P.S. (Agam Kuan ) Case No. 247 of 2004. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J ) BTiwary/
