====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER --------------- 15-02-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.550 of 2015, arising out of Mokama P.S. Case No.234 of 2013, registered under Sections 302 and 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code besides Section 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of the 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Barh, Patna. The prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was rejected vide order dated 24.09.2014 passed in Criminal Misc. No.28305 of 2014 on merit.

The report, as called for vide order dated 11.01.2017 regarding the present stage of the case, has been received from the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51177 of 2016 (3) dt.15-02-2017 2/2 court of the Additional Sessions Judge-I, Barh, Patna, vide letter no.11/17 dated 18.01.2017 from which it appears that all the witnesses, except the Investigating Officer and Doctor, have been examined and the trial court expected that the trial of the petitioner may be concluded within four months.

Since the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail has already been rejected earlier on merit, as stated above, I find no reason to reconsider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail stands rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and conclude the same within six months from today. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within six months, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months.
