IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.43580 of 2009 GAURI SHANKAR KUSHWAHA @ JAGGU KUSHWAHA,son of Ramdeo Bhagat,resident of village-Sikatia Machhargavan,P.S.-Bagaha,District-West Champaran. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 12-01-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Considering the merit petitioner’s prayer for bail has already been rejected. Now the non-progress in the case and petitioner’s custody has been made ground for bail to the petitioner. Certainly, progress in the case is slow. Seven witnesses were examined earlier when prayer was refused, three more examined. So, an attempt is needed at trial court’s hand to conclude the trial expeditiously by taking steps for production of public witnesses as well as official witnesses considering if there is material on the point and can be proved corroborating prosecution case. Therefore, this petition for bail is rejected. Every attempt shall be made by the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of six months. AH/ ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
