.... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mritunjay Prasad Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Arun Kumar(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 26-08-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.

By way of filing an application under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in connection with Pakriwarawan P.S. Case No. 143 of 2014 registered for the offence punishable under section 302 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

It is contended that save and except suspicion raised against the petitioner, there is no other material to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. Some other accused persons having more or less identical allegations have already been granted bail by different orders passed by this Court. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6925 of 2015 (5) dt.26-08-2015 2/2 for bail. He has submitted that it is a case of multiple murder in which three persons have lost their lives. The matter is still under investigation and the police may require custodial interrogation of the petitioner in order to elicit truth about the occurrence. Regard being had to the gravity of the offence and the role assigned against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
