Petitioner/s

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Raghunandan Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md. Sufiyan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 2.

12-01-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

Petitioner, in the present case, is seeking regular bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 590 of 2015 arising out of Semra P.S. Case No. 21 of 2002 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 364(A), 380/149 of the Indian Penal Code.

It appears that on perusal of the records that the petitioner is involved in as many as eight cases which were lodged right from the year 2002 till 2009 under different provisions of the Indian Penal Code for the alleged commission of serious offences.

Although, in this case, it is submitted that his

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.220 of 2018 (2) dt.12-01-2018 name has come on the confessional statement of the coaccused, but on a query raised by this Court, learned counsel for the petitioner accepts the factual position that in all the cases stated in paragraph-3, the petitioner has not surrendered and has not obtained bail during all these years. It seems he was absconding.

This being the conduct of the petitioner, therefore, this Court is not inclined to exercise its discretion by enlarging the petitioner on bail in the present case. As the petitioner has been apprehended after a long time, his release at this stage would be detrimental to the progress of the trial. Accordingly, this application stands dismissed.
