26-04-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Akhileshwar Dayal, learned APP for the State. The petitioner is seeking regular bail in his third attempt in connection with Bihiya P.S. Case No. 203 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 324, 307, 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner has been rejected twice by learned predecessor Bench of this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 44433 of 2018 and Cr. Misc. No. 59177 of 2019. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits the petitioner is in custody since 21.04.2018 and there is no chance of early conclusion of trial.

Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case wherein the prayer for bail of the petitioner has been earlier rejected

Patna High Court CR.MISC. No. 307 of 2021(5) dt.26-04-2021 2/2 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 59177 of 2019 and learned trial court has informed that the trial is likely to be concluded within four months, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. The prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is, thus, refused.

Let the trial be concluded as expeditiously as possible. If the trial remains unconcluded within a period of four months for no reason attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail. The learned trial court shall take all efforts to conclude the trial by keeping the matter on day-to-day basis. The application stands disposed of accordingly.
