Mr.Navin Kumar Pandey ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VIKASH JAIN ORAL ORDER 03-04-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.
2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest for the offences alleged under Sections 302/201 IPC registered in connection with Sessions Trial No. 245 of 2018, arising out of Bhabua (Sonhan) P.S. Case No. 319 of 2018.
3. At the very outset, learned APP submits that process under Section 82 Cr.P.C. has been concluded and the petitioner has been declared as absconder as noticed in the order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge.
4. Having regard to the submission of learned APP the anticipatory bail petition cannot be entertained in view of the observations of the Apex Court in the case of Lavesh vs. State (NCT of Delhi), (2012) 8 SCC 730, in para 12 whereof it has been observed as follows -- "12. From these materials and information, it is clear that the present appellant was not available for interrogation and investigation and declared as "absconder". Normally, when the accused is "absconding" and declared as a "proclaimed offender", there is no question of granting
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.19758 of 2019(2) dt.03-04-2019 2/2 anticipatory bail. We reiterate that when a person against whom a warrant had been issued and is absconding or concealing himself in order to avoid execution of warrant and declared as a proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code is not entitled the relief of anticipatory bail."
5. Similar view has been expressed in State of M.P. vs. Pradeep Kumar, (2014) 2 SCC 171.
6. The anticipatory bail petition stands dismissed as not maintainable.
