Mr. Aditya Narayan Singh.1, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PURNENDU SINGH ORAL ORDER 10-10-2025 Heard Mr. Rabindra Kumar Priyadarshi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and Mr. Aditya Narayan Singh.1, learned APP for the State.
2. The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with Sikty P.S. Case No. 69 of 2022 registered for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 147, 149, 341, 323, 379, 363, 365, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of petitioner submitted that earlier pre-arrest bail application of the petitioner was rejected by this Court vide order dated 09.05.2023 passed in Cr. Misc. No.46863 of 2022. He further submitted that almost all the accused have been released on pre-arrest bail and at the same time, there was no apprehension of the petitioner being arrested. Under such circumstances, the petitioner seeks that he
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70527 of 2025(2) dt.10-10-2025 2/2 should be granted pre-arrest bail, seeking parity in his case in respect of other co-accused, who, for the similar allegations, have been released on pre-arrest bail.
4. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.
5. Having considered the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, without being prejudiced by the order dated 09.05.2023 passed in Cr. Misc. No.46863 of 2022, I find it proper to direct the learned District Court concerned to hear the bail -cum- surrender application of the petitioner on the day it is filed before him, taking into account that other coaccused have been released on pre-arrest bail and similar relief may be granted to the petitioner, in accordance with law.
6. Accordingly, the present application stands disposed of.
