====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 11-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner, who is in custody since 23.01.2021 seeks bail in connection with Muffasil P.S. Case No. 440 of 2019, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 392 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the Court of learned C.J.M. Motihari, East Champaran.

The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 16.09.2019, the informant had gone to State Bank of India, Pakridayal Branch and he withdrew Rs. 4,50,000/- from the Bank and kept money in the bag of Fancy Company, while he was returning to his house, in the way at about 7.00 P.M. when the informant reached near Madhubani diversion, four riders on two motorcycles came and dash the motorcycle of informant. Out of

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41889 of 2021(7) dt.11-04-2022 2/2 four riders, one rider on the point of pistol snatched bag containing money and other articles of the informant and fled away.

Considering the fact that several cases of similar allegation are pending against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail, at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of regular bail is rejected. However, the learned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously, well within a period of six months. If no substantial progress takes place in trial, the petitioner, if so advised, may renew his prayer for bail after six month.
