For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Arvind Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Anusuiya Jaiswal ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 25-04-2018 Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this Court vide order dated 23.8.2017 passed in Cr.Misc.No.38033 of 2017 with direction to learned trial court to conclude the trial within a period of six months.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that till date not a single witness has been examined and he is in custody since 10.7.2016.

Heard learned APP and on perusal of the report it appears that learned trial court has sought six months more time to conclude the trial.

In view of the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

However, learned trial court is directed to conclude the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.17797 of 2018 (3) dt.25-04-2018 2/2 trial within a further period of six months from the receipt of this order, if possible, by conducting it on day-to-day basis. At the same time, Superintendent of Police, West Champaran, Bettiah is directed to ensure the presence of the witnesses in court on the date fixed so that the trial may be concluded within the said period.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
