IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21150 of 2009 DHANESHWAR CHAUDHARY, Son of Ramphal Chaudhary, resident of Village- Chak Madhaul, Police Station- Tajpur, District-Samastipur. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 06 25-02-2010 Heard Mr.Vishwambhar Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. Earlier by order dated 4.1.2010 a report was called for from the court of the learned Addl.Sessions Judge, F.T.C.No.1, Samastipur in Sessions Trial No.609 of 2007 regarding the stage of the trial and in response to that a report has been received which is kept at Flag-X. The said report indicates that out of nine witnesses, six witnesses have already been examined. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that last witness in this case was examined on 16.6.2009 and thereafter prosecution has not produced any witness till date. Be that as it may, since the trial appears to have come at the fag end, it is not desirable to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, in view of the report of the trial court, it - 2 - is desirable to direct the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The petitioner is directed to fully co-operate with the trial and the trial court may not unnecessarily grant adjournment on flimsy grounds. With the above observation and direction, the bail petition stands dismissed. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J)
