Criminal Miscellaneous No. 5703 of 2016 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -88 Year- 2003 Thana -BENIPATTI District- MADHUBANI ====================================================== Birendra Kumar Bhandari, son of Sri Ram Nandan Bhandari, Resident of village- Arer Sinaura, P.S.- Arer, District- Madhubani .... .... Petitioner

Versus

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

For the Petitioner : Mr. Birendra Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party : Mr. Madhuri Lata (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 01-04-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned A.P.P. representing the State.

Petitioner wants to renew the prayer of bail which was earlier rejected by order dated 20.07.2015 passed in Cr. Misc. Case No. 14059 of 2015 on the ground that the petitioner is in custody since 20.11.2014 and up till now charge has not been framed which is evident from the report of the learned Trial Judge and in near future the trial is not likely to be concluded and as such the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration to which the learned APP opposes by submitting that the petitioner is the assailant and he remained absconding since long. In the facts and circumstances stated above finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer of bail, again the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5703 of 2016 (3) dt.01-04-2016 2/2 prayer of bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, considering the detention of the petitioner, the learned Trial Judge is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same preferably within six months taking the same on priority basis and further by taking all positive steps in this regard.
