====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 30-06-2021 Heard Mr. Pushpendra Kumar Singh, learned Advocate for the appellant and Mr. Dinesh Jha, learned counsel for the informant. The State is represented by Mr. Sadanand Paswan, learned Special Public Prosecutor. The appellant has challenged the order dated 04.11.2020, passed by Sri Anand Nandan Singh, the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge cum Special Judge (SC/ST Act), Sitamarhi, in connection with ABP No. 1500 of 2020 / 185 of 2020, arising out of Sursand P. S. Case No. 167 of 2020, whereby the prayer made on behalf of the appellant for grant of anticipatory bail for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 504 and
Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.722 of 2021(2) dt.30-06-2021 2/2 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(1)(r)(s) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, has been rejected.
Though the accusation in the F.I.R. reflects that because of the protest made by the son of the informant for the appellant having gathered many people during pandemic, the occurrence has taken place. But regard being had to the fact that the appellant was earlier made accused in cases of similar nature, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him.
The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the appellant surrenders before the court below and seeks bail, that shall be considered on its own merits, without being prejudiced by the fact that the present appeal on his behalf has not been entertained by this Court.
