1. Pankaj Mandal son of Sri Satya Narayan Mandal reisdent of VillageKabelasia, P.S.- Falka, District- Katihar. .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr.

For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sucheta Yadav(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 27-04-2016 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner wants to renew his prayer for bail which was earlier rejected by order dated 27.10.2015 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 28668 of 2015 on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 18.07.2014 and the trial has not been concluded within the stipulated period. In near future also the trial is not likely to be concluded and as such the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration.

The learned A.P.P. opposes prayer for bail.

In the facts and circumstances as stated above, at present I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and accordingly his such prayer again stands rejected in connection

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17750 of 2016 (2) dt.27-04-2016 2/2 with S.T. No. 353 of 2014 arising out of Falka P.S. Case No. 169 of 2014 pending in the court of the Additional District & Sessions Judge-V, Katihar.

However, again the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and to conclude the same preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, after taking all positive steps and if possible to keep the same on the day to day basis, failing which the petitioner, if at no fault, may be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
