The State of Bihar.

... ... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s :

Shri Sanjay Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Sri Humayou Ahmad Khan, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 12-02-2018 Heard Shri Sanjay Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The sole petitioner apprehending his arrest in Nabinagar P.S. Case No. 218 of 2016 registered for the offence under Sections 134, 341, 353, 427, 504 , 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 has prayed for grant of bail in the event of his arrest or surrender purely on the ground of parity.

Learned counsel for the petitioner by way of referring to Annexure - '2' to the petition i.e. copy of order dated 11.04.2017 in Cr. Misc. No. 14998 of 2017 submits that other six accused persons have been extended privilege of anticipatory bail and as such petitioner's case being on similar footing may be considered favourably.

Besides hearing, I have also perused the materials

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6779 of 2018(2) dt.12-02-2018 2/2 available on record. In the FIR itself there is accusation that the accused named in the FIR had created nuisance in the police station as well as they blocked the road. In such situation it is my own opinion that the court may not take lenient view particularly for extending the privilege of anticipatory bail. The anticipatory bail petition stands rejected. However, it is made clear that if within a period of six weeks from today petitioner appears before the court below and makes a prayer for regular bail, the learned court below may examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law preferably on the same day.
