IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI
B. A. No. 806 of 2019
Roya Ram Munda ….. Petitioner
Versus The State of Jharkhand ….. Opposite Party ----- CORAM
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
----For the Petitioner: Mr. R. P. Gupta For the State: Mr. Deepak Kumar, A.P.P -----
03/10.05.2019 The petitioner is an accused in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302/201/34 IPC.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the bail applications of the petitioner were earlier rejected twice by this Court, yet considering the fact that the trial has not yet been concluded and the petitioner is in judicial custody since 15.07.2016, he may be given the privilege of regular bail.
Learned A.P.P while opposing the petitioner’s prayer for bail, submits that earlier the petitioner’s prayers for bail were rejected twice by this Court on merit and as such the petitioner does not deserve the privilege of regular bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I see no reason to
reconsider the petitioner’s prayer for bail in connection with S.T. No. 209/2016.
Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above named petitioner is rejected. However, the learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and
conclude the same without any undue delay.
