... ... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar Bihar ... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Bikram Deo Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Md. Aslam Ansari, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 10-03-2021 Heard Mr. Bikram Deo Singh, learned Advocate for the petitioner and Mr. Md. Aslam Ansari, learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with S. Tr. No. 557 of 2018, arising out of Tilauthu P.S. Case No. 76 of 2018 dated 06.10.2018 instituted for the offences under Sections 324, 326, 307, 302, 120(B) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prayer for bail was earlier rejected vide order dated 06.09.2019 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 31659 of 2019.

This Court had asked for a report about the stage of the case on 30.01.2021. The report dated 12.02.2021 indicates that out of six prosecution witnesses, one has been examined and non-bailable

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7166 of 2021(3) dt.10-03-2021 2/2 warrants of arrest have been issued to the other prosecution witnesses.

Considering the nature of accusation against the petitioner which may be of general and omnibus nature but three persons have died in the occurrence, I am not inclined to grant bail to him.

Accordingly the prayer for bail is rejected.

The trial court is directed to positively conclude the trial within a period of nine months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If there is no substantial progress in the case within the next six months from today and which delay would not be attributable to the petitioner, he may renew his prayer for bail before the court below and in that event the court below shall be under an obligation to record the reasons for the tardy pace of trial.

The petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid observation.
