Arising Out of PS.Case No. -136 Year- 2003 Thana -SULTANGANJ District- PATNA ====================================================== 1. Bindu Singh Son of Late Bharat Singh, resident of village Mokar Daulatpur, P.S.- Jehanabad (O.P. Korauna), District- Jehanabad at present Kankarbagh P.C. Colony, P.S.- Kankarbagh, District- Patna .... .... Petitioner/s Versus 1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjeev Ranjan For the Opposite Party/s Mr. Ram Bachan Singh(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 03/ 21.06.2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State.
Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered under section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
No doubt, petitioner is in jail custody since 18.10.2008 but taking into account criminal antecedent of the petitioner as well as this aspect of the matter that trial of the petitioner is going on, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and hence, his prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial no. 998/2010 arising out of Sultanganj P.S. Case no. 136/2003 pending in the court of Addl. Sessions Judge IV, Patnacity stands rejected.
However, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and try to conclude the same as early as possible even by taking trial of the petitioner on day to day basis.
