IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12086 of 2009 INDU KUMAR @ BARE Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 15.05.2009 Heard. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a Bench of this Court on 23.07.2008 by order contained in Annexure-1. The petitioner is the assailant of the deceased. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the charges being framed on 24.10.2008 no witness has been produced till date. Regard being had to the fact that the petitioner is the assailant of the deceased, the prayer is dismissed. However, the court below is directed to appreciate the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 4.1.2007 and in spite of the charges being framed on 24.10.2008, i.e. about seven months ago no witness has been produced. The court below could take proper steps by also issuing the notice of the Officer-in-charge of the Police Station appending thereto the list of the witnesses cited in the charge sheet for their production on day to day - 2 - so as to hearing the case and disposing it of at the earliest.
