Mr.Dr. Indiwar Kumari ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 03-05-2019 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

This application for anticipatory bail arises out of Teghra P.S. Case No. 250 of 2015 for the offence under Sections 392 and 395 of the Indian Penal Code.

I am not inclined to allow the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner for the reason that the First Information Report was registered in the year 2015. Though the petitioner was not named in the First Information Report, his name transpired in course of investigation, which makes him apprehend his arrest. There is no explanation for delay of nearly four years in filing this application. Manifestly, the petitioner managed to evade his arrest and, thereby, thwart the process of investigation.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.29344 of 2019(2) dt.03-05-2019 2/2 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has attempt to convince this Court that there is no material against the petitioner except for the confessional statement of the co-accused made in course of investigation. Considering the seriousness of the offence, I am not inclined to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail, on the basis of the aforesaid submission. This application is accordingly rejected.

The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered by the learned Court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
