Mr.Satyavrat Verma ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 07-02-2019 The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Mahnar P.S. Case No. 274 of 2017 registered under Sections 302 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 07.09.2018 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 45268 of 2018 and there is allegation against the petitioner is that he having conspired with other accused persons committed the murder of brother of the informant.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that there is no direct evidence against the petitioner and so far criminal antecedents are concerned, he has been acquitted in all cases except these two cases.

Heard learned A.P.P as well as learned counsel for the informant, who have opposed the prayer for bail stating that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6174 of 2019(2) dt.07-02-2019 2/2 petitioner is a veteran criminal and he is also giving threatening the informant and others in the court compound for that he has filed a Sanha and also matter was reported to the trial court. Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to petitioner.

However, since the petitioner is in custody and it is reported that case has been committed to the court of sessions, trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conduct it on regular basis so that same may be concluded as soon as possible. At the same time, the Superintendent of Police, Vaishali is directed to produce the witnesses on the date fixed in trial to be concluded the same expeditiously.

Accordingly, the application stands dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sujit/- U T
