Mr. Surendra Prasad Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 11-04-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Katihar Town P.S. Case No.579 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 306 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, there is allegation of abetment of commission of suicide against the petitioner. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and have committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6210 of 2023(2) dt.11-04-2023 2/2 omnibus in nature. He submits that due to quarrel between husband and wife, petitioner has been implicated in the present case. Petitioner has been living at Golaghat Mohalla with his family members. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that some of the witnesses have supported the prosecution case, which is apparent from the impugned order itself. He further submits that a suicide not was also recovered by the police in which the deceased has mentioned the name of the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected. This application is accordingly, dismissed.
