The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Mokama P.S. Case No.27 of 2017, registered for the offence punishable under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code. Accusation is of snatching money, mobile, purse, Pan Card Voter Card etc. from possession of the informant and his father.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. The petitioner has got one criminal antecedent as stated in paragraph-3 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the FIR is against unknown. It is also submitted

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.9663 of 2023(2) dt.09-05-2023 2/2 that one co-accused person was apprehended and on his confessional statement, the petitioner has also been made accused in the present case. No incriminating article has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. There is no evidence against the petitioner showing his involvement in the present case.

The learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is hereby rejected.

However, if petitioner surrenders before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the learned court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioners preferably on the same day without being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
