The petitioner seeks bail in Nokha P.S. case No.310 of 2017 registered under Sections 392, 411, 414 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram.

Prosecution case, in short, is that the informant was returning to his house after withdrawing Rs.24,000/- from the Bank and also Rs.25,000/- was in his pocket. When the informant reached near Jakhani bridge, the accused persons including the petitioner came ahead and surrounded the informant and snatched the bag and started to flee away. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody since 17.10.2017. Charge sheet has

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.15943 of 2019(4) dt.24-07-2019 2/2 been submitted in this case. There is no allegation of tampering of witnesses alleged against the petitioner.

The earlier bail application of the petitioner was rejected vide Annexure 1 to the present application taking into account that the petitioner was apprehended on the spot by the co-villagers and number of witnesses have supported the prosecution case. There was recovery of stolen money along with a motorcycle. The petitioner has got sixteen criminal cases pending against him.

Considering the nature of accusation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial preferably within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, taking into account that the petitioner is in custody since 17.10.2017.
