Mr. Humayu Ahmad Khan, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 17-12-2020 Learned counsel for the petitioner undertakes to remove all the defects as pointed out by office within four weeks after start of normal functioning of the Court. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Humayu Ahmad Khan, learned APP for the State. The petitioner in the present case is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with Complaint Case No. 1404(C) of 2006 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the court of learned S.D.J.M. Begusarai.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier regular bail was granted provisionally to the petitioner on certain terms and conditions but the petitioner had not complied with and his bail bond was cancelled. Learned counsel submits

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30158 of 2020(2) dt.17-12-2020 2/2 that petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case in which it appears to the Court that the petitioner was earlier granted bail by learned Sessions Judge provisionally but then the petitioner had failed to comply with the terms and conditions of bail and his provisional bail bond was cancelled, the admitted submission of learned counsel for the petitioner that such privilege of bail was granted to the petitioner sometimes in the year 2006 - 2007 and since then the petitioner has not appeared/surrendered in connection with this case in the learned court below, this Court is of the considered opinion that this anticipatory bail application is totally misconceived and not fit to be entertained.

This application stands dismissed.
