Mr. Manoj Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RUDRA PRAKASH MISHRA ORAL ORDER 19-03-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Laxmipur P.S. Case No. 106 of 2024 instituted for the offences under Sections 147, 341, 342, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

3. As per the prosecution case, the accusation against the accused persons including the petitioner is of committing the murder of the informant's wife namely Pabiya Devi. It is also alleged that the accused persons also tried to kill the informant as well but, somehow, he managed to flee away from the place of occurrence.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17497 of 2025(2) dt.19-03-2025 2/3 petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. The name of the petitioner transpired in this case on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused Madan Yadav given after a long delay of about two months. No specific overt act is alleged against the petitioner rather the specific allegation of commission of murder is alleged against the other co-accused persons. Petitioner is nowhere connected with the alleged occurrence and he has no concern with the family affairs of the deceased and the informant. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner has four criminal antecedents. The co-accused person has already been granted regular bail by this Court vide order dated 18.11.2024 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 62559 of 2024.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as also the nature and gravity of offence, in my view, this is not a fit case for anticipatory bail, and hence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is, hereby, rejected.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17497 of 2025(2) dt.19-03-2025 3/3

8. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned court below and prays for regular bail, the same shall be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
