Mr. Ram Prawesh Kumar For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Rajiv Nayan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 18-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove the defects, as pointed out by the office, within four weeks. In the eventuality of non-removal of defects within undertaken period, the office will place the matter before the Bench.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Sadar P.S. Case No. 282 of 2021 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 379 & 411/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 1260 Kgs. of stolen maize is said to have been recovered from the house of the petitioner.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. He has been

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.18232 of 2022(2) dt.18-08-2022 2/2 falsely implicated in this case due to money dispute. The petitioner is a bona fide farmer and business man. The petitioner has stocked his own maize in his house. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application.

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the looted maize was recovered from the house of the petitioner, hence he does not deserve anticipatory bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court below within six weeks from today and seek regular bail and the learned Court below would pass order in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order.
