IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31987 of 2007 ROHIT KUMAR @ AJAY YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 02.07.2008 A report from the Additional Sessions Judge, IX, Patna, dated 19.03.2008 has been received. By order dated 24.08.2007, this Court directed the learned court below to conclude the trial without any undue delay preferably within a period of six months. However, the said six months ended on 24.02.2008, but there is no mention in the said report why trial was not concluded by 24.02.2008. The only excuse given by the court below is that on 18.03.2008 there was lawyers’ strike but the said date i.e. 18.03.2008 was much beyond the period granted by this Court. In the said circumstances, Mr. B. K. Srivastav, Additional Sessions Judge, IX, Patna, should submit his explanation why specific order of this Court was not complied. Office is directed to send this order to the learned court below through fax immediately and the learned court below is directed to submit its explanation to this court within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
