Versus

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Vijay Kumar Sinha For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Bharat Bhushan(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 22-07-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 1062 of 2014 arising out of Beur P.S.Case No.44 of 2014 registered for the offences punishable under sections 395 and 412 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 14.10.2014 passed in Cr.Misc.No. 34724 of 2014.

It has been contended that the petitioner is in custody since 18th March, 2014 and the trial of the case is proceeding at a very slow pace.

It would appear from the record that the petitioner

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.28130 of 2015 (3) dt.22-07-2015 2/2 was put on T.I. Parade and was identified by the informant of the case.

A report was called for from the court below regarding the stage of the case. The report submitted by the trial court indicates that after framing of charge on 22.12.2014 two witnesses have already been examined and there are only three other witnesses left to be examined on behalf of the prosecution. Regard being had to the facts and circumstances of the case, I find no reason to take a different view in the matter. Accordingly, the application is dismissed.

The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible.
