This is an application for bail in connection with Lodipur P.S.Case No. 50 of 2016 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 467, 468, 471/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 138 of N.I. Act.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that allegation against the petitioner is that he had taken huge amount of money from the informant and other persons also on the assurance of providing job to them but no job was provided and in such a way the petitioner has cheated the informant and others but petitioner is in custody for about nine months and he has sufficiently been punished in this case and he has no criminal antecedent.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.10221 of 2017 (2) dt.06-03-2017 2/2 Heard learned APP and learned counsel for the informant also.

Having heard both sides and considering the allegation made against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him bail.

However, as the petitioner is in custody for sufficient time, learned trial court is directed to expedite and try to conclude the trial of the petitioner within a period of six months, if possible, on day-to-day basis and Sr. Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur is directed to produce the witnesses on the date fixed so that the trial is concluded within the time aforesaid. If the trial is not concluded within the said period the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the court below, who will consider the same and pass appropriate order without being prejudiced by this order. With the above observations, this application is dismissed.
