No body appears on behalf of the State of Bihar.

The prayer for bail made on behalf of the

petitioner was earlier rejected by an order dated

16.03.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No.9179 of 2010

(Annexure-1) with an observation that if the trial of

the petitioner is not concluded within a period of one

year, without there being any fault on the part of the

petitioner, then he shall be at liberty to renew his

prayer for bail.

By an order dated 23.03.2011 passed in

the present proceeding, a report was called for from

the learned trial court about the status of trial of the

petitioner.

Now a report at Flag ‘A’ has been received

from the trial court, on perusal of which it appears

that prosecution witnesses are not being produced.
