IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17417 of 2009 RAM BACHAN SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 28.05.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner is facing accusations under Sections 304(B) and 201 of the Penal Code. The police case in-question was lodged in 2006. The petitioner, who is named in the F.I.R., kept evading arrest for a pretty long time and surrendered on 29.02.2008. It appears that the trial in the present case had to be split up. It further appears that the aforesaid two trials ended in acquittal. From the impugned order it appears that the charges in the present case have already been framed and the case is pending for prosecution evidence. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is an outsider and that he is in custody since 29.02.2008. Having regard to the allegations and the materials available on record, this court is not inclined to admit him to bail. Accordingly, application for bail made on behalf of the above named petitioner stands rejected. However considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is persuaded to observe that if the trial of the case is not concluded within five months from the date of receipt of the order, the petitioner shall have liberty to approach this court for grant of bail.
