Mr. Anil Kumar Singh No. 1 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 29-02-2024 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in Korma P.S. Case No. 29 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 147, 149, 152, 224, 225, 332 and 353 of the Indian Penal Code pending in the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Sheikhpura.

3. As per the prosecution case, it is alleged that the petitioner along with other co-accused persons scuffled with raiding party and also misbehaved with the lady officials.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. He submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.68370 of 2023(4) dt.29-02-2024 2/2 there is allegation against the petitioner is that she has slapped one constable. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that specific overt act have been attributed against the petitioner. Hence, she does not deserve privilege of anticipatory bail.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of case and the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

7. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within six weeks from today and seek regular bail, the learned Court below would pass order on the same day in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order, considering the fact that the petitioner is a female and some of the co-accused has been granted regular bail by the Court below.
