Mr.Damodar Prasad Tiwary, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 01-09-2021 This matter has been taken up for hearing on-line because of COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions.

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for regular bail arises out of Harnaut (Kalyanbigha) P.S. Case No. 123 of 2020, disclosing offences punishable under Sections 302/201 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The petitioner had earlier approached this Court for grant of regular bail, which was rejected by an order dated 05.01.2021 passed in Cr. Misc. 32263 of 2020 with an observation that the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail, if, in the meanwhile, charge is not framed. Learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the fact that charge has been framed and the trial has begun. Witnesses are being examined at the trial.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48345 of 2021(2) dt.01-09-2021 2/2 Considering the above, I do not consider it appropriate to reconsider petitioner's prayer for grant of regular bail as the trial is at advance stage.

This application is accordingly rejected with an observation that the court below should make best endeavours to conclude the trial within six months. If, in the meanwhile, trial is not concluded, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
