This is the third attempt of the petitioner for bail.

No. 42578 of 2023 and was also rejected by this Court vide order dated 19.02.2025 passed in Cr. Misc.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41424 of 2026(2) dt.03-07-2026 2/2 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 31.01.2023 without any rhymes or reason and has got one criminal antecedent.

5.

Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the informant further submits that all the charge-sheeted witnesses have been examined in this case, statement of the accused has been recorded and the case is fixed for judgment.

6.

There is no new ground to consider the bail petition of the petitioner. It appears that the trial is going on and is at an advance stage.

7.

In view of the above, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is again rejected with a direction to the learned Trial Court to dispose of the matter which is fixed for judgment at the earliest.
