21-09-2016 Heard Sri Vinay Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Anant Kumar, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor as well as Sri Rudal Singh, learned counsel, who has voluntarily appeared on behalf of informant.

This is the 2nd attempt for grant of bail. Earlier, keeping in view seriousness of accusation, the prayer for bail of petitioner was rejected on 21-01-2016, vide Cr. Misc. No. 56447 of 2015.

In this case, by order dated 10-08-2016, a report was called for from the court below regarding stage of the case, which has been received and kept at flag 'A'. The report dated 20th August, 2016 of learned Trial Judge indicates that out of 11 chargesheeted witnesses, 06 witnesses have already been

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.32644 of 2016 (3) dt.21-09-2016 2/2 examined.

In view of the fact that, trial is proceeding expeditiously, there is no reason to review my earlier order. The prayer for bail again stands rejected.

However, keeping in view the fact that petitioner is in custody since 06-06-2015, while dismissing the present petition, it is desirable to observe that learned court below may take appropriate step so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay. While proceeding with the case, the learned Trial Judge may take the matter at least once in a week. (Rakesh Kumar, J.) Anay U T
