Petitioner

Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Hari Kishore Thakur, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Shailendra Kumar Singh (App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE RAVI RANJAN ORAL ORDER 19-01-2016 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and the informant.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Kathaiya P.S. Case No.7/2015 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 326, 307, 387, 505, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 25 (1-b)a and 27 of the Arms Act.

As per the allegation, the petitioner has fired upon the cousin brother of the informant. Admittedly, there is injury in his stomach.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the injury report is of a private hospital and not of a Govt. hospital. He further submits that there was dispute with respect to cutting

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.57289 of 2015 (2) dt.19-01-2016 2/2 of trees. As per the allegation also and very Annexure-2 which is an informatory petition filed by the petitioner, it appears that a huge amount was given to the informant for purchasing 240 decimals of land from the uncle of the informant but neither the money was being returned nor the sale deed was executed. Be that as it may, since there is direct allegation of firing upon the petitioner due to which grievous firearm injury is there, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, this application is dismissed.

However, if the petitioner surrenders and seeks regular bail then the court concerned should proceed on its own merit and in accordance with law considering all the relevant facts without being prejudiced by the present order of rejection. (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J) V.K. Pandey/- U
