JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 19-07-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP representing the State.
The petitioner wants to renew his prayer of bail, which was earlier rejected twice vide order dated 18.02.2016 and 16.11.2016 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 53213 of 2015 and 45084 of 2016 respectively, on the ground that the petitioner is in custody since 11.02.2015 and in near future the trial is not likely to be concluded. During investigation the informant has stated that Niranjan Mahto is the assailant and as such the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration.
Learned APP duly assisted by learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that the petitioner has got criminal antecedent and he is convict of Section 302 IPC and now again he has committed offence of Section 302 IPC. During trial the witnesses examined have supported the
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.28145 of 2017 (2) dt.19-07-2017 allegation that the petitioner shot the deceased. In the facts and circumstances stated above, finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer for bail of the petitioner, again his prayer for bail stands rejected.
However, considering the period of detention, learned court below is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as early as possible, preferably within four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. (Jitendra Mohan Sharma, J) avin/- U T
