1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned A.P.P. for the State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant.

2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Baroon P.S. Case No. 20 of 2025, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1)/3(5)/61(2) of the B.N.S., 2023 and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant at the outset submits that petitioner had earlier filed Cr. Misc. No.28762/2025 and the same came to be rejected by an order dated 06.08.2025 with liberty to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail. It is next submitted that in terms of the liberty, the present bail application has been filed but then after

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.2128 of 2026(2) dt.21-04-2026 2/2 framing of charge, the trial has commenced and out of ten prosecution witnesses, seven prosecution witnesses have been examined.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner is not in a position to rebut the said submission of learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant. The learned APP thus submits that since trial has commenced and out of ten prosecution witnesses, seven prosecution witnesses have been examined as such it is not a fit case for grant of bail at this stage.

5. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, the Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

6. The regular bail application of the petitioner is rejected.

7. The Court expects that the learned trial court shall expedite the trial and try to conclude the same within a period of six months.
