IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30991 of 2009 PURAN YADAV Son of Shankar Yadav @ Sanichar Yadav resident of Village-Het Mengajore, P.S. Katoriya, District-Banka. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 16/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Though there would be good reasons for grant of bail to the petitioner considering that for the offence as alleged the main accused, husband and father-in-law, has been directed to be released on bail, but then this Court is in agreement with the view recorded by the learned Sessions Judge that because on account of non appearance of this petitioner for a period of five years the trial could not proceed and in fact commitment could not be made. Therefore, this Court rejects prayer for bail of the petitioner till the stage of commitment. After commitment is made the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
