JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 28-01-2020 Petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 175 of 2018, arising out of Durgawati P.S. Case No. 99 of 2018, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 363, 365, 364A, 302 and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by order dated 28.9.2018 passed in Cr.Misc.No. 47928 of 2018 and there is allegation against the petitioner and other accused persons is of kidnapping of minor son of the informant and causing his murder.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that except suspicion there is nothing against him and he is in custody since 18.3.2018 and earlier his prayer for bail was rejected with direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within a period of six months.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.4328 of 2020(2) dt.28-01-2020 2/2 Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant, who has opposed the prayer for bail stating that all the witnesses have been examined and only CDR detail has to be brought on the record.

In view of above facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, if the trial is not concluded within a period of six months the petitioner is at liberty to move before the trial court for bail, which shall be considered on the basis of materials available on the record and disposed it of by a reasoned order. This application is, accordingly, dismissed.
