For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binod Kumar Mishra, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Tarkeshwar Nath Thakur, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 12-04-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Ghoshi/Okri P.S.Case No. 176 of 2003, corresponding to Sessions Trial No. 556 of 2016/17 of 2017, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 365, 364A, 120B of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that other accused persons have been granted bail in this case and as the petitioner has no knowledge about the case he could not appear and now he is in custody for four months. It has further been submitted that a compromise petition has also been filed and charge has already been framed and petitioner is 75 years old. Heard learned APP also.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.14676 of 2017 (3) dt.12-04-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and from perusal of the record it appears that petitioner was absconding and later on he has been arrested on the basis of non-bailable warrant issued against him, as such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

However, considering the old age and period of custody, learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
