For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Manish Kumar No2, Adv.

For the Opposite Party/s :

Dr. M.K. Gautam, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 07-07-2022 This application has been listed under the heading "For Orders".

Registry has pointed out several defects in the present application.

Mr. Manish Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the defects are mainly because only e-filing of the applications are permitted by the Court. He submitted that the defects can be removed only after filing of hard copy is permitted. He undertook that even if the applications are heard and disposed of on merit, in due course of time, when the Court would permit filing of hard copy, the defects pointed out by the registry would be removed.

In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, with consent of the parties, the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.69296 of 2021(2) dt.07-07-2022 2/2 application has been taken up for hearing on merit. The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Kurtha P. S. Case No. 188 of 2019 registered under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code.

Considering that the name of the petitioner transpired during investigation in a case registered under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code, I am not inclined to grant him pre-arrest bail. The application for grant of pre-arrest bail is rejected. In case the petitioner surrenders and seeks bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced in any manner by this order.
