Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.92 of 2019 dt.08-02-2019 2/2 of the informant and she was roamed naked.

Submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that he is not named in the FIR and has falsely been implicated in this case.

Heard learned Spl. P.P also who has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail on the ground that impugned order itself shows that video footage shows the involvement of the appellant in conducting parade of a naked lady in the village. Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to him rather he should surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and make prayer for regular bail, which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order, if possible, on the same day.
