IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
Cr. Misc. No.11788 of 2011
KRISHNA SINGH @ KRISAN
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR
-----------
02. 06.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the
State.
This is the third attempt on behalf of the petitioner
before this Court seeking bail. He is facing charge punishable
under sections 372 and 373 IPC and under diverse sections of
the Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act. His first attempt was
considered and rejected by order dated 06.07.2009 (Annexure-
1). Reasons assigned for refusal of bail shall reflect the charge
levelled against the petitioner. He again moved this court for
bail in Cr. Misc. No.3382/2010 which was considered and
rejected by order dated 15.09.2010 (Annexure-1/1).
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
petitioner is in custody since 28.01.2009. It appears that the
petitioner moved the trial court for bail after order dated
15.09.2010 and the same was considered and rejected by order
dated 28.03.2011. It appears therefrom that on receiving
records of the case, step for framing of charge was taken. It was
found that the petitioner is lodged in Central Jail, Beur, Patna
in connection with S.Tr. No.2471/08 and, as such, production
warrant was issued. It thus appears therefrom that steps for
proceeding with the trial have already been taken by learned trial
court.

Having considered the submissions and after going
through the materials on record, this Court is satisfied that no
case for grant of bail is made out. Accordingly prayer is refused.
However, considering the facts that petitioner is in
custody since 28.01.2009, this Court observes that the trial
court shall endeavour to take up the trial as quickly as possible
and conclude the same by examining all prosecution witnesses
within eight (08) months from the date of
receipt/communication of the order, failing which the petitioner
shall have liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
