IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40432 of 2008 DEVENDRA THAKUR @ DEVENDRA SHARMA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 22.9.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court considering all aspects of the matter. The petitioner has been described as the assailant in a case of double murder. So this time also, I am not inclined to differ with the previous order by which the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is again rejected. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is in jail custody since 22.3.2005 and till today not a single prosecution witness has been examined. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial considering the fact that the petitioner is in jail custody for the last three and half years. Tahir/- ( Shyam Kishore Sharma, J. )
