IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22476 of 2009 1. MUKESH SHARMA 2. PAPPU SHARMA 3. APPU SHARMA 4. LALIT SHARMA 5. RAMDHARI SHARMA @ BUGAN SHARMA 6. SUNIL SHARMA ….. PETITIONERS Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR ….. OPP. PARTY ----------- 02 11.09.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioners have approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 379, 452, 427 of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act. This occurrence had taken place sometimes in the year, 2004 on account of non permitting one of the aspirants at election to capture the booth. A host of persons belonging to one camp thereafter arrived at the village and ransacked the residents of the said village. Petitioners are named in the F.I.R. As per allegation they belonged to group of ‘Ranvir Sena’. From the impugned order, it appears that during investigation the case has been supported by several witnesses. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that some of the accused have been granted 2 anticipatory bail by this Court. This Court having regard to the material available on record and also keeping in view, the unexplained delay in approaching, this Court is not inclined to extend them privilege of anticipatory bail. Let the petitioners surrender in the court below and apply for regular bail which shall be considered on its own merit and pass order uninfluenced by the present order. With this observation the application is disposed of. P.K. (K.K. Mandal, J.)
