For the Opposite Party/s : Mr.

====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 29-01-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner seeks bail in Kotwali P.S. Case No. 175 of 2013 registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected vide order dated 14.05.2014 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 7841/2014. There is no eye witness of the occurrence. Some of the witnesses disclosed that strangers made indiscriminate firing. The supervisory authority only suspected the involvement of the petitioner. The petitioner is in jail since 23.10.2013.

On perusal of the records, it appears that all the submissions raised on behalf of the petitioner were earlier considered and prayer for regular bail was rejected.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.3727 of 2015 (2) dt.29-01-2015 2/2 Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in Sessions Trial No. 208 of 2014, arising out of Kotwali P.S. Case No. 175 of 2013. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

It appears that the case has already been committed to the Court of Sessions and charges have been framed. The trial court, i.e. the Additional Sessions Judge 1st Munger, is directed to expedite the trial of the aforementioned case and conclude the same within one year from the date of receipt / production of a copy of this order.

If the trial is not concluded within the above stipulated period, the petitioner may renew the prayer for bail firstly in the trial court itself.
