Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.68444 of 2025(3) dt.19-11-2025 2/3 thousand) unknown persons. Only because of the fact, the petitioner was the resident of the native place, his name has been implicated in this case, but he was never come to know about his complicity in the crime. The other co-accused persons, who are also named in the F.I.R., they have been allowed the privilege of anticipatory bail recently in Cr. Misc. No. 52584 of 2024 vide order dated 21.08.2024 and further in Cr. Misc. No. 3551 of 2025 vide order dated 04.02.2025, the copies of the same have been placed on record. The case of the petitioner is based on parity, besides his fair antecedent.

Misc. No. 52584 of 2024 and in Cr. Misc.
