3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the informant got an information that dead body of his younger son, namely, Pintu Kumar was lying near Dewa bridge along with motorcycle and it appeared that some unknown persons have committed murder of his son by assaulting him with iron-rod.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48642 of 2025(5) dt.19-09-2025 2/3 present case. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner is not named in the FIR. Name of the petitioner has transpired in this case on the basis of confessional statement made by co-accused person and the same has got no evidentiary value. It is further submitted that there is no any eye witness of the said occurrence. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent.
5. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner and submits that though the petitioner is not named in the FIR but on perusal of paragraph no. 236 of the case diary as well as CDR/SDR, it appears that during investigation, police found the case true against the petitioner with regard to conspiracy and his indulgement along with other co-accused in the alleged heinous crime of committing murder of informant's son. Hence, the petitioner does not deserve the privilege of anticipatory bail.
6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
7. The prayer is rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below and pray for regular bail. If any such application is filed, the Court below shall
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48642 of 2025(5) dt.19-09-2025 3/3 consider and dispose of the same on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
