Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.331 of 2012 1. Ramesh Thakur, 2. Umesh Thakur, 3. Rohit Thakur, 4. Dharmendra Thakur Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 3/ 17.1.2012 Heard learned counsels for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners are apprehending arrest in a case registered under section341, 323 and 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The FIR was initially registered under bailable provision and the petitioners were granted regular bail by the learned court below. Subsequently, charge sheet has been submitted under [STATUTE] . Hence, in my view, the learned Sessions judge has rightly observed in the impugned order that the application for anticipatory bail is not maintainable. Let the learned court below consider the prayer of the petitioner with regard to regular bail in view of the decision rendered in the case of Mahendra Prasad Singh Vs. The State of Bihar reported in 2004 (3) SCC 491 and dispose of the same preferably on the same day, if possible. With the aforementioned observation/direction, this application is disposed of. Let this order be communicated to the court of 2 J.M. Ist Class, Jehanabad in connection with Kurtha P.S. Case no. 43 of 2010. Anil/ (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
