Public Prosecutor. The petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 20.08. 2016 vide Cr.Misc.No.34662 of 2016. The petitioner is in custody in Lakhisarai P.S.

Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected primarily on the ground that he was accused in number of cases relating to serious offences besides the present case.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6407 of 2017 (3) dt.15-03-2017 2/2 In this case, by order dated 15.02.2017 a report regarding stage of the case was called from the court below, which has been received and kept at Flag-A. The report dated 28.02.2017 sent by the court below makes it clear that in the case on 10.05.2016, charges were framed and till date of the report altogether three prosecution witnesses have already been examined.

Keeping in view the fact that the trial is going on, there is no reason to review my earlier order. The petition stands dismissed. However, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since long, while dismissing the present petition, it is observed that the learned court below may take all steps, so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay.
