Mr.Harendra Prasad, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 29-06-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner in the present case is seeking anticipatory bail in connection with Sigori P.S. Case No. 55 of 2015 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 366(A), 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner along with the victim girl who was his wife received burn injuries in which the victim girl died but thereafter the petitioner is still suffering from the precarious medical conditions as a result of which he could not surrender or approach this Court for anticipatory bail.

Learned APP for the State submits that after five years of the first information report, the petitioner is approaching this Court for anticipatory bail and in his petition he has enclosed the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5673 of 2020(7) dt.29-06-2020 2/2 documents at best showing his some treatment in the year 2016. There is absolutely no material to suggest that the petitioner was in such a condition that he was confined to bed for last four years. Be that as it may, without going into much of the contentions, finding that the petitioner has approached this Court five years after the first information report was lodged and now the victim girl has also died, this Court is not inclined to entertain the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail of the petitioner. His prayer is thus, refused. In case the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail before the learned court below within a period of four weeks from today, his prayer for regular bail shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudice by the order of this Court. This application stands disposed of.
