For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Jogendra Kumar, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ashok Kr.Singh 1, APP ===================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-09-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for the State. This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Ghosi PS Case No.263 of 2014, disclosing offences under Sections 399 and 402 of the Indian Penal Code. In view of the fact that the petitioner's name transpired in course of investigation on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner may also be required. In such circumstances, keeping in view the gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner the privilege of anticipatory bail. This application is accordingly rejected.

The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below within six weeks and seek regular bail, if so advised.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.39078 of 2015 (2) dt.28-09-2015 2/2 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.
