The allegation as per FIR is that son of the informant was living on rent in the house of Sanjay Kumr Mahto and at about 9/10 P.M. on 19.10.2017, Manjan Pandit fed some Puriya to the son of the informant and since then his son is traceless.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.49379 of 2018(5) dt.13-12-2018 2/2 Bench of this Court vide order dated 25.08.2018 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 36267 of 2018 and petitioner is in custody since 20.03.2018.

Heard learned APP also who has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner on the ground that petitioner had a talk with the deceased prior to the occurrence and later on dead body of the son of informant was recovered on the confession of the petitioner.

Having heard both sides and in the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, trial court is directed to expedite the trial. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sujit/- U
