Case No.-284 Year-2019 Thana- ALOULI District- Khagaria ====================================================== Bullu Singh, aged about 51 years, male, S/o Late Uttimlal Singh, resident of village- Chatarghat, P.S.- Alauli, District- Khagaria. ... ... Appellant/s

Versus

The State of Bihar ... ... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Appellant/s :

Mr. Praveen Kumar Agrawal, Adv.

For the Respondent/s :

Mr. Binay Krishna, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 01-06-2020 Heard Mr. Praveen Kumar Agrawal, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Binay Krishna, learned APP for the State.

This appeal is directed against the order dated 24.01.2020 passed by the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Khagaria in connection with Alauli P.S. Case No. 284 of 2019, registered for the offences under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 27 of the Arms Act and Sections 3(1)(r), 3(ii) and 5A of the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, whereby the prayer for grant of bail of the appellant has

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.842 of 2020(3) dt.01-06-2020 2/3 been rejected.

The wife of the deceased has alleged in her First Information Report that the deceased was called at the farm-house of one Yogendra Singh where the appellant is said to have killed him. The dead-body was taken out of a closed room by the informant. The occurrence had taken place because the deceased wanted his wages from the appellant.

A defence has been taken on behalf of the appellant that he is the Manager of aforesaid Yogendra Singh and, therefore, he has been falsely made accused in this case.

The appellant is a H.I.V. positive person and is in custody since 22.08.2019.

Regard being had to the nature of accusation against the appellant and the fact that trial has already been commenced, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order.

The appeal is dismissed.

However, the Trial Court is directed to conclude

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.842 of 2020(3) dt.01-06-2020 3/3 the trial as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
