For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Shri Nandan Prasad Singh Ms. Prakrita Singh For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 17-12-2021 Heard Mr. Shri Nandan Prasad Singh, learned senior Advocate assisted by Ms. Prakrita Sharma, the learned Advocate for the petitioner and the learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in anticipation of his arrest in connection with Sarai P.S. Case No. 106 of 2017 instituted for the offences under sections 356, 379 and 392 of the Indian Penal Code.

Though the petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. but he has approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail after a long time with an unacceptable explanation that he did not know about the case having been lodged.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8470 of 2021(2) dt.17-12-2021 2/2 I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner for this reason as well as on consideration of the fact that earlier also, the petitioner had been made accused in such nature of cases.

The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below and seeks bail, the court below shall take into account the materials collected against the petitioner in the present case and that similar nature of cases were foisted on the petitioner at intermittent intervals and shall pass orders in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the fact that the present petition on his behalf has not been entertained.
