For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Surendra Kishore Thakur For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Atul Chandra ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 02-05-2017 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Begusarai Police Station Case No. 335 of 2016, disclosing offences under Sections 499, 500, 501, 468, 469, 474 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner, who is of clean antecedent, is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. In fact, the petitioner has been made accused in this case only because the petitioner wrote a letter to the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Bihar against the misconduct of the informant. Hence, the petitioner deserves the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.5913 of 2017 (3) dt.02-05-2017 Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail of this petitioner and submitted that there is direct allegation against the petitioner. Therefore, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of this petitioner is, hereby, rejected. It is observed that if the petitioner surrenders before the court below and pray for bail, the court below after going through the case diary, if available, shall dispose of the application for bail of the petitioner on the same day.
