IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.16838 of 2011 Rabo Yadav @ Rabindra Yadav @ Rabindra son of Naresh Yadav, resident of Village- Mamarkhabad, P.O.+P.S-Pandarak, District- Patna….. …. petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar… …Opposite Party ………….. For the Petitioner : Mr. Arun Kumar Arun, Advocate For the State : Mr. Madan Kumar, A.P.P. …………. 3 24.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. I have perused the report kept at Flag- “A”. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Petitioner’s prayer for bail has earlier been rejected vide order dated 22.5.2009 passed in Cr. Misc. No.6270 of 2009, a copy of which has been appended as Annexure-1. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that though charges have been farmed on 04.08.2009, however, no witnesses could be examined even after lapse of two years which is also reflected from the report dated 28.7.2011 of the trial court. However, in view of the fact that there is 2 direct allegation of assault on the petitioner causing death of the victim, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is again rejected. However, in view of the fact that petitioner is in custody since 20.6.2008, it is expected from the trial court to take every possible step for expeditious disposal of the trial preferably within nine months. It is also expected from the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to ensure that the prosecution witnesses are produced on the date fixed by the court concerned. Let a copy of this order be handed over to the learned counsel for the State for necessary communication. Sanjay-II ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
