For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ajit Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Murlidhar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 20-03-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of bail in connection with Sangrampur (Tetiya Bumber) P.S.Case No.115 of 2016 for the offence under Section 384 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is delay in lodging F.I.R. in this case and even during the course of investigation, it has come that the Mobile is not in the name of the petitioner rather it is of one lady, operating from the Jail. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 21.11.2016.

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides and in view of the submissions as mentioned in Para 3 of the petition that the petitioner is accused in

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.10261 of 2017 (3) dt.20-03-2017 2/2 15 other cases, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, however, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial on day-to-day basis and try to conclude it preferably within a period of nine months.

The S.P., Munger is also directed to get the witnesses produced on each and every date so that the trial may be concluded within the period as specified by the learned trial court and if not concluded, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the learned court below itself, who will pass appropriate order without being prejudiced by the order of this Court on the basis of materials available at that time. With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
