For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Saurabh Kumar For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Sanjay Kumar Pandey ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 06-04-2022 Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

Let the defect(s) be removed within two weeks of the complete start of the physical Court in normal course. Petitioner, who is in custody since 18.05.2020, seeks regular bail in connection with Sigori P.S. Case No. 50 of 2016 registered for offences punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Prosecution story in brief is on 19.05.2016, the informant came to know that his father Vinesh Kumar @ Vinesh Yadav has died. The deceased was crushed by a truck and the petitioner was the driver of the said truck.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant submits that the whole allegation against he petitioner is

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.46931 of 2021(3) dt.06-04-2022 2/2 demolished on the very fact that he is the khalasi of the truck. Petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. Petitioner is in custody since 18.05.2020 and he has no criminal antecedent.

Considering the serious nature of allegation made against the petitioner against whom there is direct allegation that he has crushed the petitioner by truck, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. However, learned trial Court is directed to conclude the trial expeditiously well within a period of nine months. If no substantial progress takes place in conduct of trial, the petitioner, if so advised, may renew his prayer for bail after the aforesaid period.

With above observation, the present bail application is disposed of.
