Mr. Md. Fahimuddin, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 01-09-2020 Heard Ms. Sanjana, learned counsel who has appeared on instruction from the learned Advocate on Record to argue the matter. Md. Fahimuddin, learned APP for the State is present. The petitioner in the present case is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Sarai P.S. Case No. 342 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 342, 323, 324, 307, 379 and 504 and Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate- 13th, Hajipur, Vaishali.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the First Information Report in this case alleges that this petitioner was one among the group of persons who had brutally assaulted the brother of the informant and this petitioner had put him in the injured condition on the carrier (Dala) of the Tractor and had
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.6064 of 2020(5) dt.01-09-2020 2/2 thrown him in the forest area. It is further submitted that the case is based on mere suspicion and further that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner. It is submitted that in course of investigation the injured has specifically named this petitioner as the person who was not only involved in the assault but had also thrown the injured in the forest after putting him on the tractor.
Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the materials available on the record indicating active participation of the petitioner in the alleged occurrence and the injured has also made allegations against him, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. This application is, thus, dismissed.
