For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Dhirendra Nath Jha, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s: Mr. Sanjay Kumar Tiwary-1 (APP) =================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE JUSTICE SMT. ANJANA PRAKASH ORAL ORDER 02.

29.01.2015 Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and the State.

The Petitioner seeks bail in Sultanganj P.S. Case No. 09 of 1996 registered under Sections 324, 307/34 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act pending before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur. Considering that the Petitioner remained absconding for sixteen years after having been granted provisional bail for a short period and the case is of the year 1996, I am not inclined to grant bail to the Petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and for which reason it shall send a list of the witnesses fixing specific dates for production of the witnesses along with a copy of this order, to the Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur, and the Superintendent of Police, Bhagalpur is directed to ensure production of the witnesses on the date so fixed by the Trial Court so that there is no further delay in trial.
