Mr. APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 29-01-2021 Heard Mr. Ashok Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Vijay Kumar Singh No. 1, learned counsel for the informant. The State is represented by the learned APP.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 200 of 2019 arising out of Bagaha (Bhairoganj) P.S. Case No. 620 of 2018, dated 18.12.2018, instituted for the offences under Sections

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32421 of 2020(4) dt.29-01-2021 2/3 302 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

On 07.12.2020, this Court had called for a report about the stage of the case which has been received.

It appears from the report that out of six prosecution witnesses, four have already been examined.

In that view of the matter, it appears that the trial is likely to be concluded in near future. This Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present.

The prayer for grant of bail is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the Trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order as only two witnesses are left to be examined. If the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner would be at liberty to approach the Trial Court for grant of bail and in that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32421 of 2020(4) dt.29-01-2021 3/3 event, the Trial Court would be required to state the reasons for non-conclusion of the trial.

The application stands dismissed.
