For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Vijay Kr Singh No. 1 For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Brajendra Nath Pandey ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 17-05-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Taking into consideration that the victim has supported the story of gang rape in her examination in chief before the trial court, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and hence, his prayer for bail in connection with Jogapatti P.S. Case No. 322 of 2015 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-I-cum-Special Judge, Bettiah West Champaran stands

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.15352 of 2017 (2) dt.17-05-2017 2/2 rejected.

However, learned trial court should expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible. (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J) SHAHZAD/- U T
