IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13807 of 2009 MITHILESH PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Shailendra Kr. Jha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Jharkhandi Upadhaya, A.P.P. -------- 3 21.05.2009 This is the third attempt by the petitioner to procure bail in connection with Chandi P.S. Case No. 301 of 2004 registered under sections 302/394/34 IPC and section 27 of the Arms Act giving rise to Sessions Trial No. 600 of 2006. His earlier forays to this court vide Cr. Misc. Nos. 5748 of 2007 and 18966 of 2008 were dismissed vide orders dated 26.4.2007 and 21.5.2008. The submission advanced by the learned counsel that there is no likelihood of the trial being completed soon and the petitioner has been in custody for about 3 years. It appears that five witnesses on behalf of the prosecution have already been examined. In that view of the matter I find no compelling reasons to enlarge the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is rejected. Spd/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
