Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27393 of 2022(2) dt.15-11-2022 2/2 years, petitioner has moved second anticipatory bail application on the ground that charge-sheet has already been submitted and as per the estimated savings of the accused and his family members comes to the tune of Rs. 26,67,000/-. Petitioner has got clean antecedent.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail application submitting that submission of charge-sheet cannot be treated to be a fresh ground for reconsideration of anticipatory bail.

In the opinion of this Court mere submission of charge-sheet is no ground for reconsideration of pre-arrest bail, hence, prayer for bail of the petitioner is refused with direction to surrender and seek regular bail which would be considered and disposed of on its own merit without prejudice.
