Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Devendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s Mr. Mustaque Alam ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 04/ 02.08.2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State.

Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected by this court taking note of allegation levelled against him. However, second bail petition has been filed on behalf of the petitioner on the ground of long detention but trial court has reported that almost all witnesses, except one prosecution witness, have already been examined and trial of the petitioner is likely to be concluded within four months. Considering the report of the trial court as well as facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and, again, his prayer for bail in connection with Session trial no. 451/2014 arising out of Bela P.S. Case no. 21/2014 pending in the court of Addl. Sessions Judge I, Sitamarhi stands rejected. However, learned trial court should take effective steps to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.24813 of 2017 (4) dt.02-08-2017 conclude the trial of the petitioner within the period as fixed by the trial court itself. The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail, if his trial is not concluded within the above stated period as fixed by the trial court.
