IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44339 of 2010 VIVEKANAND SINGH @ LAT SINGH, SON OF CHANDRIKA PRASAD SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE BAIKATPUR, P.S. KHUSRUPUR, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 26.3.2011. Heard Shri Bijay Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Ajay Mishra, learned Additional Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is accused in Kadam Kuan, Kankarbagh P.S. Case No.655 of 2000, which was registered for the offence under Sections 364/34 of the Indian Penal Code and subsequently, Sections 120(B), 302 and 201 of the Indian Penal Code were added, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only on confessional statement of co-accused, the petitioner’s name has come in the case and as such it is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. The F.I.R. was registered in the year 2000 and from the record, it appears that name of petitioner transpired in the year 2000 itself and after such a long delay, the 2 petitioner has come before this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in such a serious case. In the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the court below within one month from today. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
