Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.60426 of 2018 (3) dt.31-10-2018 2/2 since 21.06.2018.

Heard learned A.P.P. as well as learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer for bail stating that apart from self confession of the accused, the petitioner was also found near the place of occurrence.

Having heard both sides and in view of the allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, as the petitioner is in custody since 21.06.2018, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude the same as soon as possible.

With the aforesaid observation, this appeal is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) Sudha/- U T
