====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 16-11-2021 Heard Sri Krishna Prasad Singh, learned senior counsel, assisted by Sri Manoj Kumar Pandey, learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner, Sri Avinash Kumar learned counsel appearing on behalf of informant and Mr. Md. Iftekhar Mahmmod, learned A.P.P. appearing for the State. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Mokama P.S. Case No. 268 of 2019, registered under Section 302/34 of Indian Penal Code, pending in the Court of learned A.C.J.M-II, Barh, Patna.

From perusal of the record, it appears that vide order dated 01.10.2021, this Court has called for a report as to the present stage of the trial and the time likely to be taken in conclusion thereof. A report, as contained in letter No. 81, dated 08.10.2021, has been received and is placed on the record

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18566 of 2021(5) dt.16-11-2021 2/2 from which it appears that Mokama P.S. Case No. 268 of 2019 has been committed to the Court of Session.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the allegation made in the F.I.R., I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, above named, is rejected. It is expected that the learned Court below will conclude the trial expeditiously, preferably within a period of nine months. If the petitioner is so advised, he may renew his prayer for bail.
