Considering that there is direct allegation against the petitioner that he fired and caused death of the deceased , his prayer for bail is again rejected. Considering that petitioner is in custody since 22-4-2004 and the report of the trial court( Addl. Sessions Judge,F.T.C.-V, Khagaria) dated 20th September,2008, the trial court is directed to expedite Sessions Case No. 189/04 arising out of Parbatta P.S.Case No. 74/2001 and conclude the trial at the earliest and if possible within six months. It appears that only few witnesses including I.O. and the doctor have not been examined. The court below is directed to issue fresh warrant of arrest, bailable as well as non-bailable against the remaining witnesses giving at least six weeks time to the executing agency to execute the warrant. The Superintendent of Police, Khagaria is made responsible to ensure that the warrants are executed within the time granted by the court below. It goes without saying that if trial is not concluded within a reasonable time, petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. ( Shiva Kirti Singh,J) - 2 -
