Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.67842 of 2019(4) dt.29-01-2020 2/2 (petitioner). The case kept on 16.05.2019 for charge, but one accused Krishna Ravidas filed petition under Section 227 Cr.PC which has been rejected on 30.09.2019. On 21.10.2019 a petition under Section 227 Cr.P.C again has been filed on behalf of another accused Sharvan Mahto which has also been rejected on 25.11.2019 and the accused persons have been directed to come physically for charge on 18.12.2019.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within a period of six months from today.
