Mr.Sadanand Paswan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARVIND SRIVASTAVA ORAL ORDER 25-10-2021 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned Special P.P. for the State.

The appellant seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Bettiah Mufassil P.S. Case No.692 of 2013 registered under Sections 341, 323, 325, 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(1)(x) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case due to village politics.

Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.250 of 2021(2) dt.25-10-2021 2/2 material available on record against the appellant. The case was instituted in the year 2013 itself but the appellant moved this Court for anticipatory bail in the year 2021. Therefore, the appellant does not deserve anticipatory bail. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the nature of allegation made against the appellant, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the appellant. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Arvind Srivastava, J) Harish/- U T
