Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.17967 of 2026(2) dt.07-05-2026 2/2 would manifest that the same records that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent but in the instant regular bail application petitioner has disclosed four antecedents which amply demonstrates that petitioner when had approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail had not approached the Court with clean hands. It is further submitted that the case is of the year 2019 and the informant alleges that petitioner called her husband and thereafter her husband left the house and became traceless. It is next submitted that the husband of the informant till date remains traceless. It is, thus, submitted that if the privilege of regular bail is granted to the petitioner, the petitioner may abscond or try to tamper with the evidence.

5. Considering the submissions made by the learned A.P.P. for the State, the Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail in connection with Alauli P.S. Case No. 18 of 2019 pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria/Successor Court.

6. Hence, the prayer for bail is rejected.
