Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.56385 of 2017 (3) dt.20-12-2017 2/2 Having heard both sides and from perusal of the report submitted by the S.P., Jehanabad it appears that the petitioner is accused in four other cases, apart from the present case, however, from the report of the court, it appears that only one prosecution witness has been examined in this case up-tillnow. In such view of the matter, the learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of three months, if possible to conduct it on day to day basis.

At the same time, the S.P., Jehanabad is also directed to ensure that the witnesses are produced on each date, however, it is made clear that if the trial is not concluded within three months, as stated above, he will release the petitioner on bail to his own satisfaction on filing an undertaking that he will co-operate in disposal of the trial and he will also appear as and when required. With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of.
