The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent Police for the offences under Sections 341, 302, 302 r/w 114 and 506(ii) of IPC in Crime No.83 of 2007, seeks anticipatory bail. 2.The occurrence had taken place on 31.05.2006. The petitioner had been remanded to judicial custody and later, had been granted bail under Section 167(2) Cr.P.C. The respondent then filed the final report and the same was taken cognizance as PRC.No.7 of 2006. The petitioner did not appear before the jurisdictional Magistrate Court and Non Bailable Warrant was issued to him and thereafter, a separate P.R.C.No15 of 2007 was assigned. P.R.C.No.7 of 2006 was committed to the Court of Sessions and after trial, the accused was convicted. But subsequently, in Criminal Appeal, they were acquitted.

Now the petitioner has come back to this Country and has filed this particular petition seeking anticipatory bail, since Non Bailable Warrant is pending against him in P.R.C.No.15 of 2007. 3.
