Criminal Miscellaneous No.18092 of 2015 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -152 Year- 2014 Thana -SIMRI District- DARBHANGA ====================================================== Md. Israbul Haque son of Late Abdul Jalil resident of village- Sadhwara, P.S. Simri, District- Darbhanga .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Nilesh Kumar, Adv. For the Opposite Party/s : Ms. Sharda Kumari (APP) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MIHIR KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 18-08-2015 Heard learned counsel for the parties.

Having regard to the nature of allegations against the petitioner, a P.D.S. dealer, for offence under Section 143, 186, 342, 353, 420, 409, 201, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, this Court will not be inclined to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner primarily because the obstruction to the Inspecting Officer in performing the duty of either holding an inspection or sealing and seizing the premises could not have inured to the benefit of anyone else but the petitioner himself.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner, namely, Md. Israbul Haque is rejected but, then, nothing said in this order shall come in the way of the petitioner if

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18092 of 2015 (3) dt.18-08-2015 he surrenders and makes a prayer for regular bail which shall be decided on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J) Rishi/- U T
