Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.28524 of 2023(2) dt.07-07-2023 2/2 transpired in the confessional statement of the co-accused. Learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Having regard to the fact that the name of the petitioner has transpired in the confessional statement of the coaccused but the petitioner has got criminal antecedents of similar nature, this Court is not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, thus, refused.

In case the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail in the court below within four weeks from today, his prayer for regular bail shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudice by the order of this Court.

This application stands disposed of.
