IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.36174 of 2010 DOMI MANDAL, SON OF LATE BUCHCHO MANDAL, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-ARSANDI, P.S.- BIHPUR, DISTRICT- BHAGALPUR. ……Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 09.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner is facing trial, which as appears from report of learned First Additional Sessions Judge, Naugachia (Bhagalpur) has already arrived at the fag end. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that trial is pending only for examining the one independent witness besides two doctors and I.O., but in fact there is no existence of the said independent witness, for which report of Surpanch has also been procured. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, at this stage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. Simultaneously, the court below is directed to proceed expeditiously with the trial and conclude the same at the earliest. He will also consider the submissions regarding non-existence of only remaining independent witness and pass an appropriate order in accordance with law. PN (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
