For the Petitioner/s :

For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Satya Nand Shukla ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 3.

04-04-2018 Heard Sri Y.C.Verma, learned senior counsel assisted by Sri Kumar Rajeev, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Satya Nand Shukla, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. This is the 4th attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner.

Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that despite the fact that after commitment, charges have already been framed, even after lapse of more than four months, the prosecution has failed to produce any witness. Since on merit, the prayer for bail has already been rejected, there is no reason to entertain the prayer for bail. The prayer for bail again stands dismissed. However, considering the fact that petitioner is in custody since more than

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.16925 of 2018(3) dt.04-04-2018 2/2 two years and charge has already been framed, while dismissing, it is desirable to observe that learned trial court and prosecution may take all steps so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay. It is clarified that as and when required by the trial court, the concerned Superintendent of Police shall ensure production of witnesses before the court below.

Let a copy of this order be sent to the concerned Superintendent of Police.
