Petitioner in the present case is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint Case No. 143-C of 2002 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 420 and 467 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner has no concern with the alleged occurrence.

Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for bail.

Considering the facts and circumstances of this case,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.79908 of 2019(2) dt.05-12-2019 2/2 wherein it appears from the record that the complaint case was filed in the year 2002, the learned Magistrate had taken cognizance of the offences vide order dated 22.05.2002 and upon finding a prima-facie case summons were issued to the accused persons but thereafter the petitioner did not appear in the court below and after almost 17 years when the process has been issued against the petitioner, he has moved this Court for grant of anticipatory bail, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer for anticipatory bail is, thus, refused.

In case, the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail in the court below within a period of four weeks from today, he may explain all such circumstances to the court below because of which he could not appear during all this period and on being satisfied, the learned court below shall pass an appropriate order looking into the facts and circumstances and all relevant aspects of the mater.

This application is, thus, disposed of with the aforesaid direction.
