For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Tapeshwar Sharma, APP ===================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 04-11-2015 This is an application for grant of regular bail in favour of the petitioner who is an accused in connection with Araria PS Case No. 199 of 2012 for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 434/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 25(1-b)a and 26/35 of the Arms Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has remained in custody for more than three years. Be that as it may, from the reading of paragraph 3 of this application, I find that the petitioner has criminal antecedent inasmuch as at least in three cases, allegations were there against him of the offence punishable under Section 302 and Section 364A IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in other cases, the petitioner has been granted either regular bail by this Court or has been acquitted by the trial court.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc.

This application is accordingly dismissed. However, the court below is directed to expedite the trial of the case arising out of Araria PS Case No. 199 of 2012, since according to the petitioner, he is in custody in connection this case since 27.5.2012. If there is no substantial progress in the trial within six months from the date of production of a copy of this order, the petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
