JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 15-03-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel representing the State.

The petitioner wants to renew the prayer of bail which was earlier rejected by order dated 16.03.2016 passed in Cri. Misc. No. 2641 of 2016, on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 19.09.2015. Up till now only charges have been framed and no prosecution witness has been examined and in near future the trial is not likely to be concluded. The learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that on the basis of confessional statement of the petitioner the dead body of the deceased was recovered from the well.

In the facts and circumstances stated above, finding

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.1517 of 2017 (3) dt.15-03-2017 2/2 no good ground for reconsideration of prayer of bail, again the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and to conclude the same preferably within nine months, after taking the same on priority basis. (Jitendra Mohan Sharma, J.)
