JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 22-02-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State.

The petitioner wants to renew his prayer of bail, which was earlier rejected, vide order dated 12.05.2016 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 13377/2016, on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 03.07.2015, there is no specific allegation against him, the deceased himself was a veteran criminal and he was accused in nine cases. In this case, similarly situated co-accused, Mukesh Kumar has already been granted bail by another co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide Cr. Misc. No.10958 of 2016.

The learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of bail by

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5294 of 2017 (2) dt.22-02-2017 2/2 submitting that the prayer of bail of co-accused Avinash Kumar has already been rejected by another co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 57369 of 2015 and the petitioner has got criminal antecedent.

In the facts and circumstances stated above, finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer of bail, again the prayer of bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, again the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible, preferably within six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, failing which, if the petitioner at no fault, may renew his prayer for bail.
