For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Manish Sahay, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Braj Kishore Prasad, A.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-09-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Ghoshi P.S. Case No. 218 of 2013, G.R. No. 2047 of 2013, disclosing offence under Section 395 of the Indian Penal Code. Because of seriousness of the offence and the fact that petitioner's name has surfaced in course of investigation on the basis of statement of one of the co-accused before the Police, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this application for anticipatory bail is, hereby, rejected.

The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below within two weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41045 of 2016 (2) dt.28-09-2016 2/2 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. (Chakradhari Sharan Singh, J) Vats/-c U T
