Versus

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Surya Prakash For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Jitendra Kr. Singh No.1(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 29-04-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, appearing on behalf of the State. This application for grant of anticipatory bail arises out of Kadwa P.S.Case No. 147/2015, disclosing offences under section 364 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the implication of the petitioner in this case is merely on the basis of suspicion, as is evident from the First Information Report. He has further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent, as has been stated in paragraph no.3 of the present application. However, considering seriousness of the offence, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the petitioner may be needed.

Considering the facts and circumstances, this application

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.14691 of 2016 (2) dt.29-04-2016 is rejected.

The petitioner is directed to appear before the court below within four weeks from today 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.
