For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Jha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sucheta Yadav (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 27-04-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.1063 of 2014 arising out of Dhamdaha P.S.Case No. 65 of 2014 registered, inter alia, under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner had earlier been rejected twice on merits.

It has been contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that by now the petitioner has remained in custody for about two years and there is no likelihood of conclusion of the trial in near future.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the informant has contended that all the prosecution witnesses have been

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18316 of 2016 (2) dt.27-04-2016 2/2 examined during trial and the case is now pending for examination of defence witnesses and arguments on behalf of the parties. Regard being had to the reasons assigned in the earlier order of this Court dated 10th October, 2014 passed in Cr.Misc. No. 33401 of 2014 as also advance stage of the trial, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application for bail is rejected.
