It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that since altercation with family of the informant and petitioner and other side had taken place , the petitioner along with others were made F.I.R. accused for committing murder of husband of the informant. He submits that from perusal of F.I.R., it is evident that no one had seen the petitioner for committing the offence and only on suspicion, the petitioner has been made accused. It is further submitted that during investigation, no material against the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.40215 of 2014 (2) dt.13-03-2015 2/2 petitioner and other F.I.R. accused has come and, as such, the police submitted final report vide Annexure-2 to the petition and the petitioner was exonerated. He further relying on an order dated 04.10.2013 passed in Cr.Misc.No.32239 of 2013 submits that other five accused persons, whose prayer for anticipatory bail was rejected along with the petitioner, have already been granted anticipatory bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that other accused persons on similar footing have already been granted bail, there is no reason to deny the prayer for anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Let the petitioner, namely, Sareful Hoda @ Md. Sareful Hoda, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of eight weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar in connection with Abadpur P.S.
