Mrs.Nirmala Kumari ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 02-11-2020 Heard Mr. Bachan Jee Ojha, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Nirmala Kumari, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

This application for anticipatory bail arises out of Buxar (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 200 of 2018 registered for the offence punishable under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. There is allegation in the F.I.R. of snatching of cash and mobile phones from the informant by unknown criminals. The petitioner's name surfaced on the basis of confessional statement of a co-accused, made before the police. The petitioner has criminal antecedent in as much as he is an accused in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 399, 402 and 414 of the Indian Penal Code and Section

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22428 of 2020(2) dt.02-11-2020 2/2 25(1-B) a/35 of the Arms Act. It is the petitioner's case, however, that he has been allowed anticipatory bail in the said case by this Court.

Be that as it may, in my opinion, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail, considering the seriousness of the offence, criminal antecedent of the petitioner and possibility of his requirement by the police for custodial interrogation. Considering the above, this application is dismissed. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered by the learned Court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
