IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35310 of 2010 SUDAMA THAKUR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 23.2.2011 Heard Shri Kanhaiya Prasad Singh, learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner and Shri Dashrath Mehta, learned A.P.P. for the State. Regard being had to the earlier discussion of the material which was made in earlier rejection order passed by me, the plea of learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner that the assailants being two and there could be only one injury which could be the cause of death, appears innocuous. As regards the period of custody, the petitioner is in custody since about three years as he is there since 23.4.2008. The petitioner had fired shot and killed the deceased, considering which the petition is dismissed. The report of the learned trial Judge indicates that he has recorded the evidence of two witnesses and it is expected that he understands the necessitity of expeditious trial to be handed out to the accused remaining in custody for many reasons and takes up the case on priority basis.
