Mr. Shyam Kumar Singh, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 01-09-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Shyam Kumar Singh, learned A.P.P. for the State. This is the second attempt of the petitioner to obtain bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 219 of 2020/534 of 2020 arising out of Vishnupad P.S. Case No. 243 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court vide order dated 19.10.2020 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 25477 of 2020.

On the last date this Court called for a report from the learned trial court which has now been received as contained in Letter No. 696/21 dated 04.08.2021. The trial court report says

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34848 of 2021(3) dt.01-09-2021 2/2 that four witnesses have already been examined and the trial may be concluded within six months.

Mr. Shyam Kumar Singh, learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case wherein the prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on merit, the trial court's report says that four witnesses have already been examined and the trial may be concluded within a period of six months, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Prayer for bail is thus refused. Let the trial be expedited.

The trial court is expected to conclude the trial and all endeavours be made to conclude the trial within the time-frame provided by the trial court.

If the trial still remains unconcluded for no reasons attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail. This application stands disposed of accordingly.
