Petitioner, in the present case, is seeking regular bail in connection with Rajnagar P.S. Case No. 29 of 2018 registered for the offences under Section 341, 323, 325, 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of learned A.D.J.-III, District - Madhubani.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court after noticing the allegations against the petitioner and now the report from the learned trial court says that five non-official prosecution witnesses of the charge-sheet have already been examined and the trial is likely to be concluded after evidence of official prosecution witnesses, this Court is not inclined to grant privilege of regular bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37054 of 2020(4) dt.03-03-2021 2/2 Prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is, thus, refused.

Let the trial be expedited on day to day basis. Learned trial court shall take all appropriate action for appearance of the official witnesses. Prosecution must cooperate in course of trial and it will be the responsibility of the Superintendent of Police, Madhubani and the Public Prosecutor to produce the official witnesses on the date fixed in the matter, failing which the delay in conclusion of trial shall be attributable to them. The defence is also obliged to cooperate in course of trial. All efforts be made to conclude the trial preferably within a period of four months from today.

If the trial is not concluded within a period of four months for no reasons attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail.
