Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects within three weeks of resumption of normal court proceeding. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within undertaken period, the office will place the matter before the Bench.

Perused the report at Flag- 'P' in which the learned

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.15402 of 2021(3) dt.25-08-2021 2/2 Additional District & Sessions Judge-VII, Chapra, Saran reported that the charge has been framed against the petitioner. The prosecution has not produced any witness for examination. The case is pending for evidence of the prosecution. No work is being done due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected in connection with Garkha P.S. Case No.491 of 2018, giving rise to S. Tr. No.637 of 2019.

This application is dismissed.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within a period of nine months. Both the sides have to co-operate in disposal of the trial. At the same time, the Superintendent of Police, Saran is directed to ensure the production of the witnesses in the learned court below on the date fixed so that the trial must be concluded within the period as prescribed above.
