IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.40187 of 2014 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -65 Year- 3013 Thana -KADAMKUAN District- PATNA ====================================================== Durga Dutta Mishra son of Late Dadan Mishra, Resident of Gandhi Maidan Footpath, P.S. Gandhi Maidan, District Patna. .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MIHIR KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 21-01-2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Having regard to the nature of allegation against the petitioner for the offences punishable under Sections-414 and 401/34 of the Indian Penal Code and the fact that there is recovery of the stolen mobile phone from the possession of the petitioner and that he has also two more similar cases pending against him, is sufficient to reject the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Keeping however in view of the fact that the petitioner has remained in judicial custody since, 27.02.2013 i.e. for a period of almost two years, this Court would direct the trial Court to ensure that the trial of the petitioner is concluded within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. If the trial

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.40187 of 2014 (3) dt.21-01-2015 of the petitioner is not concluded within the aforementioned period of six months the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.

With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of.
