Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE NAVANITI PRASAD SINGH ORAL ORDER 2 17-12-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in relation to Narpatganj P.S. Case No. 274 of 2010 G.R. No. 2445/ 2010 instituted under [STATUTE] . Having perused the F.I.R. and the order of the learned Sessions Court, I am not inclined to entertain this application. Petitioner is named in the F.I.R. alongwith other accused persons for abusing and assaulting with kunda of gun with an intention to kill. It appears that other persons turned up later. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that some of the Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.44787 of 2012 (2) dt.17-12-2012 2 / 2 2 similarly situated persons have already been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. In my view, the case is justifiable in respect of the petitioner, whose name is first mentioned in the F.I.R. and the names of other persons are jointly mentioned. Considering the above, prayer of petitioner for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may surrender in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and pray for regular bail which shall be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order.
