Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea, who is in seisin of the criminal case, is directed to commit the case of the petitioner to the court of session forthwith. On such commitment, the trial of the petitioner shall be taken up on priority basis. However, if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within a period of one year from the date of framing of charge, then the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
