====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJENDRA KUMAR MISHRA ORAL ORDER --------------- 15-02-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No.436 of 2015, 17/16, arising out of Nardiganj P.S. Case No.6 of 2015, registered under Sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of the Additional Sessions Judge-III, Nawadah.

The prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail was rejected vide order dated 09.03.2016 passed in Criminal Misc. No.46735 of 2015 on merit.

The report, as called for vide order dated 11.01.2017 regarding the present stage of the case, has been received from the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.51242 of 2016 (3) dt.15-02-2017 2/2 court of the Additional Sessions Judge-III, Nawadah, vide letter no.31 dated 18.01.2017 from which it appears that all the witnesses, except the informant and Investigating Officer, have been examined and the trial court expected that the trial of the petitioner may be concluded within three months. Since the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail has already been rejected earlier on merit, as stated above, I find no reason to reconsider the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of bail stands rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and conclude the same within four months from today. If the trial of the petitioner is not concluded within four months, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after four months.
