Mr. Damodar Prasad Tiwary ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER 07-04-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State through video conferencing. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Daudnagar P.S. Case No. 156 of 2015, registered under Sections 147, 148, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act, pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-IX, Aurangabad.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner submits that the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected five times by this Court as well as one time from the Hon'ble Apex Court, on merit. The petitioner is in custody since 26.07.2017, but the trial of the petitioner has not been concluded as yet.

The report as called for has been received through

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35116 of 2020(3) dt.07-04-2021 2/2 Letter No. 24/2021, dated 03.03.2021 from the Court of learned Addl. District and Sessions Judge-IX, Aurangabad, which shows that the record is running for final argument and the Court below expected that the trial of the case may be concluded within two months, if both sides co-operate the Court.

Since, the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected many times by this Court as well as by the Hon'ble Apex Court, I am not inclined to reconsider the bail prayer of the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail is again rejected.

However, the learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-IX, Aurangabad is directed to hear the final argument and dispose of the case within three months by taking all effective steps.
