Mr. Dilip Kumar No.1, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 02-05-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Naubatpur P.S. Case No.233 of 2017, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The accusation is of killing the daughter of the informant. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is an innocent person and has committed no offence. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent as stated in paragraph-3 of the bail petition. It is further submitted that there is no eyewitness of the occurrence and only on suspicion, the father-in-law of the petitioner lodged the present case

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42962 of 2022(4) dt.02-05-2023 2/2 against the petitioner and other family members. It is submitted that the informant has filed a compromise petition in the learned court below and the matter has been compromised between the parties.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Considering the fact that petitioner is the husband of the deceased, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is hereby rejected. However, if petitioner surrenders before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the learned court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner preferably on the same day without being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
