JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 08-04-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

The petitioner prays for anticipatory bail in connection with Balthar PS case no. 178 of 2016 registered for the offence punishable under sections 395, 397 of Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of petitioner that he is not arrested at the spot rather one another person was chased and arrested who disclosed the name of the petitioner before the police and villagers. It is further submitted that the petitioner is in custody for about three months and he has not been put on T.I.P. Heard learned A.P.P. also. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail.

Having heard both sides. In view of the fact that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.16891 of 2017 (2) dt.08-04-2017 2/2 name of the petitioner has been disclosed by one co-accused before the police and villagers and he is also an accused in other case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. As such, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, the court below is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within six months and if the trial is not concluded within six months, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail. With these observations, this bail application is dismissed.
