Misc.

The trial is yet to be concluded. The petitioner moved for bail in Sessions Case No.331/08 before the Court concerned, which has been rejected by order dated 20.04.2011. The learned Judge has not noted why inspite of order dated 14.07.2010 the trial has not been concluded till now. However, he has noted that so far as witnesses examined in the case have only alleged that petitioner fired at the thigh of the deceased and there was no repetition. Be that as it may, considering the fact that the petitioner has been in custody for over 5 years and the - 2 - trial is still going on, let the petitioner above-named be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand ) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C. III, Biharsharif Nalanda in connection with Harnaut P.S. Case No.180/03. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
