.... .... Petitioner/s
Versus
1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :
For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Yogesh Chandra Verma, Sr. Adv. Mr. Ram Vinay Prasad Singh @ Sanjay For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Manish Kumar 2 (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 04-04-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under Sections-302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
One co-accused, Mohan Singh is said to have shot fire on the deceased and after that, the petitioner and two others also opened fire on the deceased.
Contention on behalf of the petitioner is that coaccused, Sanjay Singh having more or less similar allegation has already been granted privilege of bail by this court and it is pointed out that main assailant, Mohan Singh has also been granted privilege of bail by a coordinate bench of this court but I am not, at all, convinced with the aforesaid submissions because it
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.13825 of 2016 (2) dt.04-04-2016 2/2 would appear from the first information report that the alleged occurrence took place in the year, 2007 and the petitioner could be remanded in this case after 8 years of the alleged occurrence and due to non-appearance of the petitioner, the trial against him could not proceed.
Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Suryagarha P.S. Case No. 02 of 2007 corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 238 of 2015 pending in the court of Learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-Vth, Lakhisarai stands rejected.
However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible, preferably, within six months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order, failing which, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail in the court below itself.
