However, according to learned counsel for the petitioner, the deceased was having four injuries and, as such, he has doubted the prosecution. Learned counsel for the petitioner accepts that after

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.7102 of 2016 (3) dt.08-04-2016 2/2 framing of charge, trial has commenced.

In view of the fact that trial has already commenced, the prayer for bail stands rejected.

Since the petitioner is in custody since 2014, while rejecting the prayer for bail, it is desirable to observe that the learned trial judge may take appropriate steps, so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay. The Trial Judge may take up this case at least once in a week for early disposal of the case.
