Case Facts:
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.2088 of 2012 Amar Nath Manjhi Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 2 18-1-2012 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail was rejected by this Court on 3-5-2010, the petitioner has tried to obtain injury report from the P.M.C.H. where the injured was referred for further treatment and he got a reply that injury report is not available there. He claims that a similar reply was received from another Primary Health Centre and hence he has renewed his prayer for anticipatory bail because there is no material to substantiate the injury on the head of the informant. By order contained in annexure-1 other accused were allowed anticipatory bail for different reasons but it was noticed that the allegation against this petitioner is of causing injury on the head of the informant by Farsa. The order of Sessions Judge dated 29-7-2009 discloses that one lacerated would 1 1/2 x ¼ x muscle deep was found on the head of the informant and on that basis it was argued that no case under [STATUTE] . is made out. The learned Sessions Judge has noted the 2 submission of the learned P.P. that during supervision the case has been found true under [STATUTE] . also and the informant was referred to P.M.C.H. for further treatment. Even the dimensions of the injury on the head of the informant are mentioned in the Sessions Judge order on the basis whereof petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail was rejected earlier. This Court finds no good reason to take a different view in the matter and reconsider the prayer for anticipatory bail. The prayer is again rejected. Naresh (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
