JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 11-07-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

There is specific allegation of rape against the petitioner but submission on behalf of the petitioner is that in course of trial, the victim stated that she could not identify the culprit and gave the name of petitioner at the behest of her villagers.

Admittedly, the trial of the petitioner has already commenced and, therefore, considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as submissions of the parties, I

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26285 of 2016 (2) dt.11-07-2016 2/2 am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and hence, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 580 of 2015 arising out of Chakiya P.S. Case No. 11 of 2015 pending in the court of 14th Additional Sessions Judge, Motihari, East Champaran stands rejected.

However, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible, preferably within four months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order. It is made clear that if the trial court fails to conclude the trial of the petitioner within the above stated period of four months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the learned trial court itself.
