IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35913 of 2010 YOGESHWAR MAHTO @ MUNSHI MAHTO son of Rambishun Mahto, resident of village- Ankopur Nagwan, P.S. Janipur, District- Patna… Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 29.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a reasoned order dated 18.12.2009 and therefore there would be no reason for reconsidering the prayer for bail of the petitioner on merit. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that subsequently co-accused Harendra Kumar has been granted bail by this Court on 19.8.2010 which would make at least the case of the petitioner worth reconsideration on merits. In the considered opinion of this Court, the case of Harendra Kumar was squarely distinguishable as would be apparent from the order dated 29.10.2009 in Cr. Misc. No. 18033 of 2009. Moreover, the petitioner is the person who is said to have snatched the amount of Rs. 5 lakh from the cashier and he was also having criminal antecedent of at least being accused in four similar cases. Considering all these aspects, this Court is not 2 inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Nonetheless, the petitioner is in custody for almost two years and therefore, the trial court must make all its best endeavour to conclude the trial expeditiously. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
