Mr.Akhileshwar Dayal, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 05-01-2022 Heard Mr. Vikramdeo Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Akhileshwar Dayal, learned A.P.P. for the State.

This is the second attempt of the petitioner to obtain bail in connection with Muffasil P.S. Case No. 622 of 2018, G.R. No. 4464/18 registered for the offence under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

Earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected by this court after noticing that it was this petitioner who had given the looted mobile to co-accused Ashutosh Kumar as also that he had got huge criminal antecedent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had remained in custody in connection with this case since 22.02.2020.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61377 of 2021(3) dt.05-01-2022 2/2 Learned A.P.P. for the State submits that in this case charges have already been framed and summons have been issued to the prosecution witnesses and the record is fixed for evidence. According to the learned trial court, the trial itself may be concluded within a period of six months approximately. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case wherein this court has noticed the criminal antecedents of the petitioner and the kind of materials collected against him and further it appears that the trial itself may be concluded within a period of six months, this court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage.

Let the trial court proceed with the execution of summons and if required by issuing warrant of arrest against the prosecution witnesses and all endeavours be made to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of communication of this order. If the trial still remains unconcluded for no reason attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail in the learned court below itself. This application stands disposed of accordingly. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) arvind/- U T Note: The ordersheet duly signed has been attached with the record.
