JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 30-01-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Gopalpur P.S. Case No. 113 of 2014, disclosing offences under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. Considering the fact that the petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, I am not inclined to grant him the privilege of anticipatory bail in view of the Supreme Court decision in the case of Jai Prakash Singh vs. State of Bihar and Another reported in (2012)4 SCC 379. Accordingly, this application for anticipatory bail is, hereby, rejected.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.58166 of 2015 (2) dt.30-01-2016 2/2 The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks 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.
