Mr.H.A. Khan, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 20-10-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Pipra Kothi P.S. Case No.83/2022, registered for the offence punishable u/s 302, 201, 120-B, 34 of the IPC. Allegedly, all the F.I.R. named accused persons under a conspiracy have committed murder of informant's brother Mumtaz Alam and his friend Mithun Kumar Malo and threw their dead body near Mohanapul, Pipra Kothi.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case due to dirty village politics. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.28724 of 2022(3) dt.20-10-2022 2/2 taken place. There is no specific overt act against the petitioner rather the allegation is general and omnibus in nature. There is no eye-witness to the alleged occurrence and only on suspicion, petitioner has been made accused in this case. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that on the confessional statement of the co-accused petitioner has been made accused in this case and he is one of the assailant in the alleged offence. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on their behalf is hereby rejected.

This application is accordingly dismissed.
