IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41294 of 2009 ARUN YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 23.12.2009 Heard. The allegation against the petitioner is also of firing shot and after analyzing the facts of the case which was placed before me for passing orders in Cr. Misc. 38973 of 2008( Annexure-1) I had recorded a conclusion that the petitioner also appeared to be one of the assailants of the deceased. That situation appears not changed. What appears further is that the direction of the Court to the District and sessions Judge for placing the two cases, i.e., Noorsarai P.S.Case No.98 of 2008 and Noorsarai P.S.Case No.99 of 2008 in one court after committal, has not been complied as there does not appear anything from the report as to what are the stages of those two cases. But, learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that the two cases are still pending commitment inasmuch 2 as the accused persons of Noorsarai P.S.Case No.99 of 2008 have not even appeared in that case. This must be a matter of concern for any person who respects the system and, specially, the system of administering justice adopted by us. In spite of a direction from this Court, the courts are not paying heed to such aspects and appear sleeping over it. These matters in days gone by, used to be maters of discussions in the monthly meeting of the Judicial Officers and the District Judges used to send for reports about the pendency of committal proceedings and used to impress upon the Magistracy to commit them as soon as possible. But, now the District Judges are not at all interested on the above aspect of the matter as a result of which the courts below have lost site of the matters of such agenda to be put in the monthly meeting. I direct the District and sessions Judge, Nalanda, to personally look into the matter and ensure that the cases are committed in a maximum period of four weeks, i.e., ending January,2010 so that the trails 3 are placed before one Judge who shall be concluding the trials in a space of one year from the date the charges are framed in two cases. If the trials are not concluded within a year the Judge shall submit an explanation to the Hon’ble Inspecting Judge of the Judgeship. With the above direction this petition is dismissed.
