IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14291 of 2009 RAJESH SINGH @ BHAWANT SINGH son of Bhola Singh, resident of village- Manjhaul, Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 10.3.2010. Heard Mr. Rai Mukesh Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is in custody in connection with Cheriya Bariyarpur P.S. Case No.74 of 2003 registered for the offences under sections 307 and 353/34 of the Indian Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act and section ¾ of the Explosive Substance Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner, while pressing the bail petition, submits that the petitioner is in custody since 29.4.2005. He further submits that in the case none had received any injury. On these grounds he has prayed for grant of bail. In this case by order dated 31.7.2009 while calling for the case diary antecedent report of the petitioner was called for which has been received and is kept at flag ‘A’. The report at flag ‘A’ indicates that the petitioner is accused in altogether 27 cases relating to serious offences. Besides this, he was also accused in one another case relating to commission of offence under the Explosive Substance Act. He was also made accused in a case registered for the offence under section 396 of the Indian Penal Code. The report is self explanatory. Besides this, in this case trial is continuing and some witnesses have already been examined. Since the trial is going on it is not desirable to extend 2 the privilege of bail to this petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. Since the petitioner is in jail for a long period, it is desirable to direct the trial court to conclude the trial expeditiously. Md.S. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
