IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39785 of 2009 BIJAY PASWAN, son of Ganauri Paswan, resident of Mohalla Kaua Khoh, P.S. Chowk, District Patna Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 18.11.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case of misuse of his privilege of bail. The petitioner has remained absconding for a period of 19 years even when the charges were already framed against him as far back as on 26.6.1991. Thus the very purpose of grant of bail to the petitioner was frustrated by his own conduct. The petitioner is said to be in custody since 29.7.2009 and therefore, this Court while rejecting the prayer for bail of the petitioner for the present would direct the trial court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is completed in a period of next nine months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. Happen the trial of the petitioner be not concluded in the aforementioned period the petitioner shall have the liberty initially to move the trial court which would record reasons for 2 not concluding the trial and only whereafter the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before this Court. With the aforementioned observation, this application is dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
