For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Anuj Kumar, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Md. Ataur Rahman, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 16-07-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case under Sections 420, 467, 468 and other sections of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner and other accused persons are alleged to have brought in existence a forged sale deed. It is submitted that the complainant entered into a compromise with other accused persons and filed the same in the year 2003. The petitioner thought that the case must have been dead and, that is why, he did not appear. Although the case is of petty nature and out and out a civil dispute, the petitioner did not appear in court for 14 years even after issuance of summons and moved the court for grant of

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.25652 of 2015 (2) dt.16-07-2015 2/2 anticipatory bail after 14 years.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail in Complaint Case No. 304 of 2001. Accordingly, the same is rejected. The petitioner, if so advised may surrender in the court below and pray for regular bail. The court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner without being prejudiced from this order and taking into consideration that the dispute is of civil nature and substantially the case has been compromised.
