For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Rama Kant Sharma, Sr. Adv. Mr. Pranav Kumar & Ashish Giri For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. M.N.Jha, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 30-08-2017 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner wants to renew his prayer for bail which was earlier twice rejected by orders dated 16.10.2015 and 22.06.2016 passed in Cr. Misc. Nos. 28267 of 2015 and 21516 of 2016, on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 08.07.2014 and up till now no prosecution witness has been examined though there was direction to conclude the trial within nine months keeping the same on the priority basis. The learned A.P.P. seriously opposes prayer for bail of the petitioner by submitting that the petitioner is the assailant.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41491 of 2017 (2) dt.30-08-2017 2/2 In the facts and circumstances stated above, finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer for bail, again prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected in connection with S.T. No. 534 of 2015 arising out of Beur P.S. Case No. 131 of 2014 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-X, Patna.

However, considering detention of the petitioner, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and to conclude the same preferably within six months after keeping the same on the priority basis, failing which the petitioner, if at no fault, may be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
