====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 07-08-2024 Heard Mr. Raju Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Yogendra Kumar Singh, learned APP for the State.

2. The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Karakat P.S. Case No. 202 of 2024, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 341, 342, 323, 324, 376, 511, 354, 448 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that petitioner is innocent and has falsely

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.47120 of 2024(2) dt.07-08-2024 2/2 been implicated in the present case. Petitioner and informant are co-villager and, due to previous enmity, the informant has dragged the petitioner in a false case. Petitioner has clean antecedent. On these grounds, petitioner seeks to be released on pre-arrest bail.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.

6. Considering the nature of allegation made against the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on prearrest bail.

7. However, the petitioner, if so advised, may surrender before the learned District Court and file regular bail application. Learned District Court is directed to dispose of the regular bail application of the petitioner on the same day, after verifying the genuinity of the allegation made against the petitioner from the injury report, if available on record.

8. Accordingly, the present bail application is disposed of.
