This application for grant of regular bail arises out of Warisaliganj P.S. Case No. 331 of 2019 registered for the offence punishable under Section 394 of the Indian Penal Code. The case of the prosecution is that three unknown miscreants had intercepted the informant and snatched from him, his mobile phone and some cash. The petitioner's name surfaced on the basis of confessional statement of co-accused Pappu Kumar.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 26.06.2020 and the said co-accused Pappu Kumar has been released on bail under the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.33194 of 2020(3) dt.18-01-2021 2/2 of Children) Act, 2015. He has submitted that there is no recovery from the petitioner's possession of any incriminating material and the charge sheet has been submitted. It transpires from the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner that the trial has commenced and some witness have been examined.

Considering the fact that the petitioner is accused in another case of similar nature, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner, privilege of regular bail for the present. This application is accordingly dismissed.

The Court expects that the trial shall be expedited and concluded within four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the trial is not concluded within four months, the petitioner shall be at liberty to approach this Court and renew his prayer for bail. (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J) AKASH/- U T
