IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.13548 of 2018 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -3 Year- 2017 Thana -NARHAT District- NAWADA ======================================================

1. Gore Lal Chauhan, Son of Bhattu Chauhan, resident of VillageZorawar Bigha, P.S.- Nardiganj, District- Nawada. .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar.

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

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Amarendra Nath Tiwary, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Smt Renu Kumari, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA KUMAR ORAL ORDER 16-05-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Narhat P.S. Case No.3 of 2017, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 366A/376/302/120B/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Prosecution case is that the petitioner and others were known to the informant and for that reason they had stayed in the house of the informant and in the early morning they fled away along with ten years of daughter of the informant. The victim is still traceless and suspicion is that her murder has been committed.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.13548 of 2018 (4) dt.16-05-2018 P2/ complainant claims that the occurrence took place in her village Pandui within Narhat Police Station in the district of Nawada in the State of Bihar; whereas her husband has stated before the police in paragraph-26 of the case-diary that the occurrence took place in the state of West Bengal at the referred place where the parties were working on a brick kiln.

Considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner, in my view, this is not a fit case for anticipatory bail. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail is refused. However, in the event of surrender of the petitioner within two weeks, the prayer for regular bail shall be disposed of without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
