Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1141 of 2019 dt.29-03-2019 2/2 Submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that during investigation the informant has not supported the prosecution case in his restatement and the matter has been compromised also. Heard learned Special P.P.

Having heard both sides and in the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the appellant. However, if the appellant surrenders and makes prayer for regular bail within a period of six weeks, the same shall be considered on the basis of the submissions made above as well as the materials available on record and, if possible, to be disposed of on the same day.

With the above observation, this appeal is disposed of. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- AFR/NAFR CAV DATE Uploading Date Transmission Date
