2. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 80(2), 238 and 3(5) of B.N.S., 2023.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and being a rural doctor came to be implicated in the instant case when he has no concern with the death of the deceased who was wife of Naveen Kumar. It is also submitted that during the course of investigation, it transpired that petitioner helped Naveen Kumar and his family members in disposing of the dead body of the deceased.

4. Learned APP for the State and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant vehemently oppose the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81378 of 2025(2) dt.12-01-2026 2/2 anticipatory bail application.

5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant submits that petitioner is related to Naveen Kumar and being aware that a crime has been committed and Naveen Kumar and his family members were trying to conceal the evidence, as such, had brought the dead body to the clinic of the petitioner from where petitioner along with others took the dead body for cremation, as would manifest from para-41 of the case diary.

6. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner as the dead body was not recovered and the same was cremated, as such, the cause of death could not be ascertained. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is hereby rejected in connection with Sheikhpura P.S. Case No.264 of 2025, pending in the court of learned C.J.M., Sheikhpura/Successor Court.
