Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49396 of 2021(5) dt.16-05-2022 2/2 allegation against the petitioner of open firing due to which the brother of the informant sustained injury at his chest and he died. Hence, petitioner does not deserve to be enlarged on anticipatory bail.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced on behalf of the opposite party, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. (Arvind Srivastava, J) utkarsh/- U T
