For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjay Kumar @ S.K., Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Anita Kumari Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 04-07-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Sadar P.S.Case No. 518 of 2016 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 394, 511, 307, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

Petitioner is not named in the FIR.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that except confessional statement there is nothing against the petitioner and so far prosecution case is concerned, though he has been identified in CCTV camera but he is not there. Further submission is that though he has been made accused in nine other cases but in all those cases he is on bail and in this case he is in custody for six months.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.23872 of 2017 (3) dt.04-07-2017 2/2 Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and considering the fact that he has been made accused in nine other cases of similar type, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same within a period of nine months and at the same time, Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur is directed to ensure the presence of the witnesses in court on the date fixed. If trial is not concluded within the said period, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
