For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. Sunil Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Dr. Ajeet Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 11-04-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Hawai Adda P.S. Case No.142 of 2009, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 413, 414, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner is of sale and purchase of stolen cars and motorcycle by making forged documents.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that by order dated 08.12.2017, passed in Cr. Misc. No.56903 of 2017, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court. It is further submitted that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42726 of 2021(2) dt.11-04-2022 2/2 the present anticipatory bail application has been filed because of changed circumstances. It is also submitted that co-accused, Md. Ahiya @ Yahiya has already been enlarged on anticipatory bail by the learned court below itself.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

Taking into consideration the fact that earlier the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner has been rejected by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is again rejected.

However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, the learned court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner on the same day in accordance with law keeping in mind the fact that the dispute between the parties is civil in nature.
