====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 29-01-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in Sono P.S. Case No. 64 of 1999 corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 115 of 2011, registered for the offence punishable under Section 396 of the Indian Penal Code.

Earlier the bail application of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 04.12.2019 with an observation to renew the prayer for bail after a period of six months (Annexure-2). On the last occasion, report regarding current stage of trial was called for vide order dated 21.12.2020 and the same has been received and kept at flag 'B'. From perusal of report, it appears that case is pending for evidence. Considering the stage of trial, I am not inclined to

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.34128 of 2020(4) dt.29-01-2021 2/2 enlarge the petitioner above-named on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to conclude the trial as early as possible.
