For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Sanjay Kumar For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Ashok Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 26-02-2020 The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Rupaspur P.S. Case No. 23 of 2018, registered for offences punishable under Sections 412, 467, 468, 471, 420/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation is of recovery of 14.75 kilograms of gold jewellery on the disclosure made by the petitioner apart from that he is accused in other cases also.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that no substantive case has been lodged for theft of the gold jewellery, which were alleged to be recovered at the instance of the petitioner. Further submission is that he has been in custody since 20.01.2018 Heard learned A.P.P. and perused the report of learned

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.46293 of 2019(7) dt.26-02-2020 2/2 Trial Court, from which, it appears that the case of the petitioner has been committed to the court of sessions and there is no further report available on record.

Having heard both sides, considering the facts and circumstances, at this stage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. However, since the petitioner has been in custody since long, learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within a period of six months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
