Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26692 of 2017 (5) dt.07-11-2017 report was called for and from perusal from perusal of the status report, it appears that in the meantime accused person was transferred to Udakishangaj Jail and as such the trial could not be concluded, in such view of the matter, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail rather this application is disposed of with direction to the trial court to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of six months and if the trial is not concluded within the aforesaid period, the trial court shall release the petitioner on bail to his own satisfaction. At the same time, D.M and S.P. of the concerned District and I.G. Prison as well as jail superintendent is directed to see that accused person is produced in the court on the date fixed so that the trial can be concluded within the aforesaid period.
