For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mukesh Kumar Rana For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Mukeshwar Dayal ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 11-09-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners.

This is an application for bail in connection with Palasi P.S. Case No. 67 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

Petitioners are not named in the FIR and later on their names transpire during course of investigation. Submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that except confessional statement there is nothing against them and they are in custody since 1.6.2017 and 8.6.2017 respectively. Heard learned APP also, who has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that they have criminal antecedents. Having heard both sides and in view of facts and

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.38136 of 2017 (3) dt.11-09-2017 2/2 circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. Prayer for bail is rejected.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of six months. If trial is not concluded within the said period, petitioners may renew their prayer for bail.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
