Mr. Ram Sevak Choudhary, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 10-05-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

Petitioner in this case has renewed his prayer for bail in connection with Bahadurganj P.S. Case No. 37 of 2020 registered for the offences under Section 394 of the Indian Penal Code. He is in custody since 18.03.2020. He has got three criminal antecedents.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected vide order dated 12.07.2021 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 36406 of 2020. The order speaks for itself.

At this stage, this Court has been informed that the trial has already begun and three out of seven witnesses have already been examined.

Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35963 of 2022(5) dt.10-05-2023 2/2 bail of the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the allegations and the reasons provided in the earlier order of this Court as also that the trial has already begun and substantial number of witnesses have been examined so far, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage.

The learned trial court is directed to fix the records of the case on shorter dates and all endeavours be made to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

If the trial is not concluded within the said period for no reason attributable to the petitioner, he may file an application for bail in the learned trial court. This application stands disposed of accordingly. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) lekhi/- U T
