====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 27-02-2019 Heard Sri Ramakant Sharma, learned senior counsel, assisted by Sri Sanjeev Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.
This is third attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner. A plea is being taken by learned counsel for the petitioner that though the petitioner is in custody since 07-04-2016, till date only two prosecution witnesses have been examined and, as such, without any speedy trial, the petitioner may not be detained further.
In this case, earlier a report was called for from the court below regarding stage of the case, which is on record. Since, evidence is going on, there is no reason to review my earlier order.
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40580 of 2018(4) dt.27-02-2019 2/2 However, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since April, 2016, while dismissing the prayer for bail, it is desirable to observe that the learned Trial Judge may take appropriate steps, so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay. If possible, the learned Trial Judge may take up the trial in the present case, atleast twice in a week. At the same time, it is necessary to direct the concerned Superintendent of Police to ensure the presence of witnesses as and when required by the learned trial judge. Let a copy of this order be sent to the concerned Superintendent of Police for its compliance.
