====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER ----------- 16-12-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.961 of 2013, arising out of Bettiah Muffasil P.S. Case No.197 of 2013 registered under Sections 302 and 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code besides Section 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of 4th Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bettiah, West Champaran.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that earlier the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was rejected by this Court vide order dated 01.04.2014 passed in

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.43055 of 2015 (3) dt.16-12-2015 2/2 Criminal Misc. No.41360 of 2013, which would appear from Annexure-'1' to this application. The petitioner is in custody since 26.03.2013 and after framing of charge on 28.11.2014, no prosecution witness has been examined in the case. Admittedly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was rejected earlier on merit vide order dated 01.04.2014 passed in Criminal Misc. No.41360 of 2013 by this Court as appears from Annexure-'1' to this application. I find no reason to reconsider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail is again rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner by taking all effective steps.
