For the Petitioner/s :

Mr Ranjeet Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr Chandra Bhushan Prasad, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL ORDER 17-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor (for brevity, APP) appearing for the State of Bihar.

The petitioner seeks bail in Goraul (Kathara OP) Police Station (for brevity, PS) Case No 127 of 2020 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 341, 323, 337, 302 of Indian Penal Code.

Petitioner's prayer for bail was earlier rejected by this Court by order dated 25.11.2020 passed in Cr Misc No 24612 of 2020. Thereafter, this Court disposed of Cr Misc No 70390 of 2021 for moving the trial Court.

Report dated 13.07.2022 received from the trial Court (Additional Sessions Judge I -cum- Special Judge, Vaishali at

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27273 of 2022(4) dt.17-08-2022 2/2 Hajipur) shows that summon has been issued against all the witnesses and the next date was fixed on 26.07.2022. It appears that at the trial, examination of witnesses apparently has started and, therefore, this Court, for the present, will not take a view contrary to the view, as recorded in order dated 25.11.2020 passed on the petitioner's earlier bail application in Cr Misc No 24612 of 2020.

This Court, however, would observe that without granting any unnecessary adjournment or undue delay, the trial Court should proceed for expeditious conclusion of the trial. With the aforesaid observation and direction, prayer for bail is again rejected.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is expected to honour his undertaking given in the instant proceedings today for depositing requisite Court fee and removing the defect (s), as pointed out, when called upon to do so.
