Mr.Amrit Abhijat For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Bhanu Pratap Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 15-12-2021 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for grant of regular bail arises out of Nanpur Case No. 66 of 2020, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 363/365 of the Indian Penal Code and later on Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code have been added.

The petitioner's prayer for regular bail was earlier rejected by an order of this Court dated 20.01.2021 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 33197 of 2020 with an observation that the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if, in the meanwhile, charge was not framed.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has argued that there has been no progress at the trial further. Considering the gravity of the offence and perusal of the case diary, which suggests availability of incriminating

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.43525 of 2021(5) dt.15-12-2021 2/2 materials, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of regular bail for the present.

Learned counsel for the Informant states that the witnesses are ready to depose at the trial.

While dismissing this application, it is observed that the Court below shall take all possible steps to expedite conclusion of the trial and shall not grant unnecessary adjournments.

It is also observed that if there is no substantial progress at the trial, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
