Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.70007 of 2025(2) dt.14-10-2025 2/3 firmly held him when she was shot and was declared dead by the doctors.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the FIR was instituted against unknown. It is also submitted that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and he came to be implicated based on confessional statement of Suraj, Akash and Pankaj in police custody which does not have any evidentiary value.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner and submits that no doubt FIR was instituted against unknown, but then during the course of investigation, it transpired that informant had hatched a conspiracy for getting his wife eliminated and thus was made an accused and was arrested and the name of the petitioner transpired in the confessional statement of Suraj, Akash and Pankaj (informant subsequently made accused). It is further submitted that if privilege of anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, the petitioner may abscond and the investigation is continuing.

6. Considering the submissions made by the learned APP for the State, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
