IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38239 of 2008 SANTOSH KUMAR SINGH @ SANTOSH SINGH, son of Dhiraja Singh, resident of Village Gaushganj, P.S. Ara Town, District Bhojpur ------Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 2.12.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Udwantnagar (Gajrajganj) P.S. Case No.178 of 2002 for the alleged offences under section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation against the petitioner is of loot on the road in which the motor-cycle of the informant was taken away. During investigation motor-cycle was recovered from the possession of one of the three co- accused as alleged by the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the informant has entered into a compromise, as contained in Annexure 2. The learned APP appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the material has come against the petitioner during investigation. Considering the facts and 2 circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is, accordingly, dismissed. However, on surrender in case an application for regular bail is filed in the court below, the same would be considered on its own merits in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the present order.
