JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 06-09-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the informant and the learned counsel representing the State.

The petitioner wants to renew the prayer of bail which was earlier twice rejected vide order dated 30.11.2015 and 03.03.2017 passed in Cri. Misc. No. 47233 of 2015 and Cr. Misc. No. 53553 of 2016, on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 16.07.2015, there is no legal and cogent material against him, confessional statement made before the police has got no evidentiary value in the eye of law, up till now no prosecution witness has been examined and in near future the trial is not likely to be concluded though there was direction to conclude the trial within a period of four months and, as such, the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.39693 of 2017 (3) dt.06-09-2017 2/2 The learned A.P.P. duly assisted by the learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that one of co-accused Lorik Kumar has filed petition that he is juvenile and, as such, the witnesses have not been examined though earlier there was no such plea, the informant is ready to produce all the witnesses but the witnesses are being returned due to that reason.

In the facts and circumstances stated above, at present, finding no good ground for reconsideration of prayer of the bail, again prayer of the bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, considering the detention of the petitioner, let the trial be expedited and concluded preferably within a period of three months. The informant will co-operate during trial.
