The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Laxmipur P.S.case No.27 of 2012 registered for offences punishable under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is not named in the name and as per FIR father of the informant was working as Mansion (Mistry) and when his father did not come, he called him on mobile but his mobile was found switched off and thereafter he started searching him and found the dead body of his father and three fired arm injuries and one knife injury found on the deceased. It further appears that during the course of investigation, name of the petitioner has transpired on the confession of the co-accused. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the name of the petitioner has transpired on confession of

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31302 of 2019(3) dt.22-07-2019 2/2 one Gore Lal Tanti and Gore Lal Tanti has been acquitted after full-fledged trial in S.T.No.473 of 2012 and except confessional statement against the petitioner there is nothing against him. Heard learned A.P.P. , who has opposed the prayer for bail on the ground that confessional statement of Gore Lal Tanthi was recorded in the year, 2012 itself and his name transpired in that and he was found involved in the occurrence, as such he does not deserve anticipatory bail.

Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, however, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned court below and pray for regular bail, same will be considered on the basis of materials available against this petitioner.

With the aforesaid direction, this application is dismissed.
