Versus

The State of Bihar.

.... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance:

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Ravi Shanker Pankaj, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Matloob Rab, APP. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 25-04-2017 Heard both sides.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Buxar (Industrial) P. S. Case No. 03 of 2017 registered for the offences under Sections 307, 386 and other sections of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

The informant alleged that on 03.01.2017, the petitioner and others came to his residence and made indiscriminate firing. The informant informed the police and the police came immediately thereafter. It is further alleged that earlier the petitioner and others killed the brother of the informant on 04.01.2016. The accused persons wanted to eliminate the informant so that the informant may not depose. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.16163 of 2017 (2) dt.25-04-2017 2/2 bhabhi of the informant is the mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Churamanpur and on one pretext or the other, the informant lodged the case against the petitioner. All the three criminal cases pending against the petitioner have been lodged by the informant and his family members.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the informant and learned APP opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. It appears that the petitioner and others made indiscriminate firing and in the meantime, the police came there. The petitioner got criminal antecedent and he is also an accused in a case registered under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
