3. 25.7.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the

State.

The petitioner seeks bail in Rajpur P.S.case No.55 of

2008 (S. Tr. No.128 of 2009) instituted for the offence

u/s.302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act.

The petitioner was refused bail by orders dated

25.11.2009 and 7.7.2010 respectively vide Cr.Misc.No.40220

of 2009 and Cr.Misc.No.21164 of 2010 since there was an

allegation against him that he had fired on the head of the

deceased as well as since the victim had named the present

petitioner.

A report was called for from the Trial Court since the

petitioner has renewed his prayer for bail on the ground that

no sufficient progress is made during trial. The Trial Court has

informed that four witnesses have been examined during trial

and the rest of the witnesses are not produced by the

prosecuting agency and he has expressed his frustration in

proceeding with the trial on account of non-cooperative

attitude of the prosecuting agency.

Let this report of the Trial Court (Additional Sessions

Judge, F.T.C. 3rd, Buxar) be forwarded to the S.P., Buxar. The

Trial Court is also directed to send a list of the witnesses fixing
-2-

specific dates for production of the witnesses along with a

copy of this order to the S.P., Buxar and the S.P., Buxar is

directed to ensure production of the witnesses on the date so

fixed by the Trial Court so that there is no further delay in trial.

If the S.P., Buxar finds that such police officers are purposely

evading their production as a witness during trial, he shall

strict measures against the officers concerned.

In view of such, I am not inclined to review the earlier

order. The prayer for bail is once again rejected.
