What is this about?

Regular bail application (Criminal Miscellaneous No.58966 of 2025) by Munna Kumar in Didarganj P.S. Case No. 21 of 2024, District Patna, under Sections 302 and 34 IPC; trial-stage report (letter No. 358 dated 16.12.2025, District & Additional Sessions Judge-IV, Patna City) showed 2 of 7 prosecution witnesses (doctor and investigating officer) examined with summons issued to the rest; Court passed no order at this stage and disposed of the application (Purnendu Singh, J., order dated 30-01-2026).

What did the court decide?

Considering the trial-progress information (two of seven prosecution witnesses, including the doctor and investigating officer, already examined, with summons issued to the remaining witnesses), the Court found no occasion to pass any order on the bail application at that stage. ¶¶19
