At the outset, upon perusal of the report sent by the SubDivisional Judicial Magistrate, Dalsingsarai it transpires that the petitioner has not till date been declared proclaimed offender/ absconder, hence, the present anticipatory bail application is being heard on merits.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as far as the case of the informant pertaining to snatching of gold chain is concerned, the same has not been prima facie found to be correct during the course of investigation. It is the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner that except Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code, other Sections are bailable, hence a lenient view be taken. It is further submitted that the petitioner has a clean antecedent.

Per contra, the learned counsel for the informant has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and has submitted that the petitioner and other accused persons are disrupting the peaceful living of the informant. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, in the event of arrest or surrender before the concerned court within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the present order, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs.

It is further directed that the petitioner would mark his presence before the Officer Incharge of the concerned Police Station at 10 A.M. on each and every Monday of the month and on account of his failure on two consecutive occasions to mark his attendance, the present privilege of anticipatory bail shall stand cancelled automatically.
