Mr.Chandrasen Prasad Singh (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 19-01-2021 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for grant of regular bail arises out of Harnaut (Telmar) P.S. Case No. 71 of 2019 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

Pursuant to order of this Court dated 22.12.2020, a report has been received from the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda at Biharsharif, from which it appears that the case has been committed to the Court of Sessions and it is fixed for appearance on 18.01.2020. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court seeking grant of regular bail, which was rejected by an order dated 28.01.2020 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 3510 of 2020. No fresh ground has been

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34044 of 2020(3) dt.19-01-2021 2/2 made out for this Court to reconsider the petitioner's prayer for regular bail.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has remained in custody since 22.07.2019.

Considering the circumstance that there is direct allegation against the petitioner and he has been described as the main assailant, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner, privilege of regular bail for the present.

The petitioner shall, however, be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if in the meanwhile, there is no substantial progress at the trial.
