Criminal Miscellaneous No.23250 of 2018 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -51 Year- 2015 Thana -HAJIPUR District- VAISHALI(HAJIPUR) ====================================================== Pradeep Singh, Son of Rambalak Singh, R/o Village- Pokhra Mohalla, Medni Mal, Hajipur, P.S.- Hajipur Town, District- Vaishali. .... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Manish Chandra Gandhi For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Matloob Rab ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 16-05-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The trial court has reported vide letter no. 29 dated 25.04.2018 that altogether eight prosecution witnesses have already been examined and the case is pending for hearing on petition filed under Section 311 of the Cr.P.C. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was twice rejected but while rejecting the bail prayer of the petitioner this court gave liberty to petitioner to renew his prayer for bail, if his trial is not concluded within four months from 11.01.2017.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.23250 of 2018 (3) dt.16-05-2018 2/2 It appears from the report of learned trial Judge that trial Judge has taken the observation of this court very lightly and in casual manner.

Moreover, considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as stage of trial of the petitioner, again I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and hence, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 429 of 2015 arising out of Hajipur Town P.S. Case No. 51 of 2015 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-V, Vaishali at Hajipur/concerned court stands rejected.

However, learned trial court is directed to dispose of aforesaid Sessions Trial No. 429 of 2015 within three months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order even by taking the trial of the petitioner on day to day basis. It is made clear that failure on the part of trial court shall be viewed seriously. (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J) SHAHZAD/- U T
