This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with S. Tr. No.29 of 2016 arising out of Charpokhari P.S.Case No.257 of 2015 for the offences under Sections 364, 120(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code and later on Seciotn 302 and 201 of the IPC was added.

Earlier the prayer for bail was rejected vide order dated 15.3.2017 passed in Cr. Misc. No.1517 of 2017 and order dated 18.4.2018 passed in Cr. Misc. No.22448 of 2018. It appears that on confession of the petitioner, dead body was recovered.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that he is in custody for more than four years but still the trial has not been concluded.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No. 33148 of 2019(8) dt.03-02-2020 2/2 Heard learned A.P.P. as well as the learned counsel for the informant. Perused the record from which it appears that in this case witnesses were produced and their examination-inchief have also been recorded but in spite of the presence of the learned counsel for the defence no body appears to cross examine the witnesses as such the accused persons are not cooperating in disposal of the trial. Having heard both sides and in view of the report as well as submissions as made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, the learned trial court is directed to conduct it on regular basis and try to conclude it within a period of six months.

It is needless to say that petitioner and other accused persons are shall co-operate in the disposal of the trial. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
