For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Amrendra Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Satyaverat Verma(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 23-02-2016 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Jhajha Police Station Case No. 88 of 2014, disclosing offences under Sections 364, 448, 427 and 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Considering the gravity of the offences and the fact that the petitioner has criminal antecedent, in view of the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Jai Prakash Singh v. State of Bihar and Another, reported in (2012) 4 SCC 379, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

This application for anticipatory bail, is hereby,

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6014 of 2016 (2) dt.23-02-2016 2/2 rejected.

The petitioner, Shambhu Mandal, is directed to surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered by the learned Court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
