For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Manish Chandra Gandhi For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. C. Jawahar (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 19-02-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioners seek bail in Mahua P.S. Case No. 286 of 2013 registered under sections 341, 323, 452, 324, 307, 354/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant made very specific allegation against the petitioners that the petitioner no.1 assaulted the informant Sangita Kumari and her mother with Padhariya. Rakesh Kumar is also alleged to have assaulted the mother of the informant.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that Petitioner Manish Kumar has assaulted the informant with knife on her abdomen and different parts of the body. The petitioners

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.42514 of 2014 (3) dt.19-02-2015 2/2 are in jail for about nine months.

On perusal of the record it appears that both the petitioners are alleged to have assaulted the informant and her mother. The informant got five injuries on different parts of the body and her mother got eight injuries. The injuries are grievous in nature.

Considering the aforesaid facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail at this stage. The same is rejected. The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate or the learned Magistrate who is in seisin with the case, commit the case to the court of sessions forthwith and the learned Sessions Judge or the Additional District Judge is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months from the date of framing of charge. If the trial is not concluded within the stipulated period, the petitioners may renew his prayer for bail firstly before the trial court.
