JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 16-09-2019 This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Hilsa P.S. Case No. 494/18, disclosing offences under Sections 153A, 295(A) and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is that he posted objectionable message on whatsapp group trying to disturb the communal harmony of two groups.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the has falsely been implicated in this case and he does not know the operation of whatsapp and he is ready to abide by any condition imposed on him for grant of anticipatory bail. Heard learned A.P.P. also.

Having heard both sides, considering the facts and

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30599 of 2019(4) dt.16-09-2019 2/2 circumstances, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner rather petitioner may surrender before the court below and make prayer for regular bail and if any such application is filed, the court below will dispose of the same on the merit of the case, if possible on same day, without being prejudiced by this order.

This application is, accordingly, disposed of. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunilkumar/- U T
