Mr. Md. Fahimuddin, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL ORDER 07-12-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner is directed to remove the defect(s) as pointed out by the office within a period of four weeks.
The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence under Sections-147, 148, 149, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code.
Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was twice rejected vide Annexures-1 & 1A to the present application taking into account that the petitioner was one of the assailants. This is the third attempt of the petitioner for grant of bail. A report was called for from the trial court. It has been reported by the trial court that out of eight charge sheeted witnesses, seven have already been examined
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.51119 of 2022(3) dt.07-12-2022 2/2 and besides that four other witnesses have also been examined. It has further been reported that the trial is likely to be concluded within a period of four months.
Considering the nature of accusation and pace of trial, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Sessions Trial No. 116 of 2020 arising out of Sahajitpur P.S. Case No. 66 of 2019 is, again, rejected. Learned trial court is directed to take all necessary steps to conclude the trial at the earliest, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
