JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL ORDER 05-01-2022 Due to the third wave of COVID-19 Pandemic, the matter is being taken up by way of virtual Court proceeding. The matter has been listed under the heading "For Orders" under the orders of Hon'ble the Chief Justice. Learned counsel for the petitioner is directed to remove the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, within a period of four weeks after restoration of normalcy. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State through virtual mode.

The petitioner seeks bail in Sessions Trial No. 24 of 2020/CIS 24 of 2020 arising out of Roh P.S. Case No. 50 of 2019 registered under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected taking

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.54658 of 2021(3) dt.05-01-2022 2/2 into account that on the confession of the petitioner, the weapon used in course of the occurrence, was said to have been recovered from possession of the petitioner. The same has been corroborated with the postmortem report also. A report was called for from the trial court. It has been reported that out of 8 prosecution witnesses, six prosecution witnesses have already been examined and the trial is likely to be concluded within a period of two months. On behalf of the State, it is submitted that the petitioner is named in the Complaint Case/F.I.R.

Considering the nature of accusation and the stage of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Learned trial court is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial of the petitioner preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order.
