... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Manoj Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Anita Kumari (App) For the informant : Mr. Shailesh Kumar Sharma, Adv. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 16-05-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, appearing on behalf of the State, as also learned counsel for the informant.

This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Barh P.S.Case No. 229/2014, disclosing offences under sections 302, 120B, 349 of the Indian Penal Code and section 27 of the Arms Act.

Since the petitioner is an accused in a case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, I am not inclined to grant him privilege of anticipatory bail, keeping in view the Supreme Court decision in the case of Jai Prakash Singh v. the State of Bihar & Anr., reported in (2012)4 SCC 379.

This application is, accordingly, rejected.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.18903 of 2016 (3) dt.16-05-2016 The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If he does so, his application for regular bail shall be considered on its own merit, without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
