Mr.Shivam, Ms. Vaishnavi Singh For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr.Md. Aslam Ansari ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 13-10-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The instant application for anticipatory bail has been filed by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with Harnaut P.S. Case no. 225 of 2021 instituted for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 324, 325, 307, 387, 354(B) and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

As per allegation in the FIR, with an intention to kill the informant's son, petitioner had fired upon him but he escaped narrowly.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27619 of 2022(2) dt.13-10-2022 2/2 offence. Informant's son has received simple injury in his hand, caused by hard and blunt object. Informant's son has not received any gun shot injury. Neither the petitioner was arrested nor any incriminating article has been recovered from his possession.

Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer of bail and submitted that petitioner has several criminal antecedents.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration that petitioner is a habitual offender, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and, as such, his application for bail is rejected.

However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail, the same may be considered by the court below on its own merit.
