Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.73361 of 2022(2) dt.03-02-2023 2/2 petitioner who managed his escape from the place of occurrence. Many incriminating articles were recovered from possession of the co-accused persons.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. It is stated in paragraph-3 of the bail application that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent, but during the course of argument, it is submitted that the petitioner has got one criminal antecedent. It is further submitted that name of the petitioner surfaced in the case on the basis of confessional statement of the co-accused.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Considering the nature of offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is hereby rejected.
