Mr. Shantanu Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 10-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

In the instant application, the petitioner seeks prearrest bail in connection with Biraul P.S. Case No. 333 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable inter alia under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code. The prayer of the petitioner for grant of pre-arrest bail was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 20.12.2017.

It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that after the rejection of the prayer for grant of prearrest bail to the petitioner, the parties have amicably settled the dispute outside the Court.

Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code is not a

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42559 of 2021(3) dt.10-08-2022 2/2 compoundable offence. It would be evident from the contention of the petitioner that while absconding he is tampering with the evidence and trying to obtain bail on the basis of a non-existent ground.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the conduct of the petitioner, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner does not deserve grant of pre-arrest bail. The prayer is rejected once again.
