IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.17252 of 2015 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -93 Year- 2011 Thana -KHAIRA District- SARAN ======================================================

1. Munchun Singh @ Chunmun Singh Son of Dhanesh Singh resident of Affaur, P.S. Khaira, District - Saran .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s Mr. Uma Nath Mishra(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 03/ 29.04.2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State.

Learned Addl. Sessions Judge VI, Saran at Chapra has reported vide letter no. 134 dated 21.4.2015 that he was getting training at Judicial Academy from 10.3.2015 to 22.3.2015 and he joined his court on 23.3.2015. It has further been reported that argument in the aforesaid case is going on and next date for argument has been fixed on 24.4.2015.

It would appear from the record that on 26.6.2013 prayer for bail of petitioner was rejected by this court taking note of this fact that the prosecution case was on the verge of closure and accordingly, this court directed the trial court to expedite trial and conclude the same as early as possible but trial of the petitioner was not concluded and the petitioner, again, filed Cr. Misc. no. 9650/2014 for grant of bail and his prayer for bail was, again, rejected with direction to trial court to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17252 of 2015 (3) dt.29-04-2015 conclude the trial preferably, within seven months but trial of the petitioner could not be concluded and, again, petitioner came before this court by filing Cr. Misc. no. 703/2015 but his prayer for bail was, again, rejected by this court vide order dated 11.3.2015 directing the trial court to pronounce judgment within three weeks from the date of receipt of order dated 11.3.2015.

It is matter of sorrow that, again, order of this court has not been complied with by trial court.

However, in my view, it is high time for learned Addl. Sessions Judge VI, Saran at Chapra to conclude the argument of the parties by the next date of receipt of this order and pronounce judgment in Sessions Trial no. 925/2011 within 14 days from the date of closure of argument of the parties, failing which matter shall be viewed seriously.

Accordingly, this petition stands rejected.

Let a copy of this order be communicated to learned Addl. Sessions Judge VI, Saran at Chapra in connection with Sessions Trial no. 925/2011 through FAX without any delay.
