IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4216 of 2009 SATYENDRA SINGH @ SATENDRA SINGH, son of late Suryadeo Singh, resident of village – Padum Bigha, P.S. Silao, District - Nalanda Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 03.02.2009 Heard. Regard being had to the facts of this case and its seriousness which was indicated in the earlier order, contained in Annexure 1, I am not inclined to re-consider the earlier rejection order. However, the contention was that the trial is proceeding at a very slow pace and the petitioner is in custody since 12.12.2002, for more than six years. It is contended that only three witnesses have been examined till date. Rejection order also indicates that some witnesses were left to be examined including the informant and the doctor. I direct the court below to examine the witnesses in further time of six months or else to submit an explanation for his failure in disposing of the trial within that particular period. Petition is dismissed with the aforementioned observation/ direction. Anil/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
