Mr.Bal Mukund Prasad Sinha ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 15-12-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

By order dated 25.03.2021, passed in Cr. Misc. No.36392 of 2020, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected with a direction to the trial court to conclude the trial within six months. If the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. Perused the order impugned dated 06.10.2021. The court below has rejected the prayer for bail of the petitioner stating that the allegation against the petitioner is heinous. It is mentioned in the order dated 06.10.2021 that summon against the prosecution witnesses has already been issued but no prosecution witness has been examined in this case. Considering the nature of offence committed by the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69026 of 2021(2) dt.15-12-2021 2/2 petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected with a direction to the trial court to hold the trial on day to day basis and conclude the same preferably within six months from the date of receipt of this order. Both sides are directed to cooperate in the trial. The Superintendent of Police, Patna is directed to ensure the production of prosecution witnesses in the learned court below on the date so fixed.

If the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail.
