The petitioner seeks bail in Sessions Trial No.1101 of 2012 arising out of Belhar P.S. case No.57 of 2012 registered under Sections 147, 148, 149, 448, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge 1st, Banka.
The earlier bail application of the petitioner was rejected vide Annexure 1 to the present application taking into account that the petitioner is the assailant. A report was called for from the trial court. It has been reported that out of fifteen prosecution witnesses five prosecution witnesses have already been examined and the trial
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29656 of 2020(3) dt.10-02-2021 2/2 is likely to be concluded within a period of nine months. Considering the nature of accusation and the stage of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected.

The District Magistrate, Banka and the Superintendent of Police, Banka are also directed to take necessary steps to produce the witnesses on the date fixed by the Trial Court so that the trial could be concluded within the stipulated period.
