Vide order dated 22.03.2023, a report was called for, regarding the stage of trial. In compliance thereof, a report sent by learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-IX, Samastipur dated 03.04.2023, is kept at flag 'A', whereby it is stated that at present, the case is fixed for adducing defence witnesses. On 31.01.2023, the statement of the accused persons u/s 313 Cr.P.C. was recorded and the record was fixed for adducing defence evidence. On 16.02.2023, the defence gave a petition for adducing seven defence witnesses. It is further stated that if the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.15529 of 2023(3) dt.19-04-2023 2/2 defence adduces their witnesses without any delay, then the trial of this case may be concluded within six months.

Accordingly, the bail application is dismissed.
