There is no whisper against the present petitioner. As such, petitioner deserves anticipatory bail.

6. In this view of the matter, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner is hereby refused. However, in the event of surrender of the petitioner within six weeks from today,
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.55876 of 2025(2) dt.27-08-2025 3/3 the prayer for regular bail shall be considered on merit on the same day without being prejudiced by the order of this Court. (Dr. Anshuman, J) Mkr./- U T
