JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 08-08-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Earlier the bail prayer of the petitioner was thrice rejected by this court and while rejecting the bail prayer of the petitioner on 18.10.2017 in Cr. Misc. No. 49316 of 2017, this court directed the trial court to conclude the trial of the petitioner as early as possible even by taking the trial of the petitioner on day to day basis.

However, it is informed on behalf of the petitioner

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41765 of 2018 (3) dt.08-08-2018 2/2 that up till now only three prosecution witnesses could be examined and there is no possibility of conclusion of trial of the petitioner in near future.

Petitioner happens to be main assailant and there is allegation against him that he shot fire on the deceased. Therefore, again I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 151/14 + 586/14 arising out of Runni Saidpur P.S. Case No. 195 of 2012 pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Sitamarhi stands rejected.

However, the trial court is further directed to proceed with the trial of the petitioner on day to day basis and take all possible steps so that the trial of the petitioner could be disposed of as early as possible.
