Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.30355 of 2014 (03) dt.11-02-2015 2/2 18330 of 2013 with liberty to renew the prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within a period of one year. A report was called from learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Buxar vide order dated 03.09.2014 as in what circumstances the trial has not concluded. The report of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Buxar dated 18.09.2014 reflects that the charges have not been framed, which reflects the casual manner in which the sessions trial is being conducted in spite of the order of this Court.
Considering the fact that there is no likelihood of conclusion of trial in near future, let the above named petitioner, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Buxar in connection with Sessions Trial No. 325 of 2013 arising out of Buxar (Town) P.S.
