IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44669 of 2009 RAMESH RAI, Son of Raj Mangal Rai, resident of Village- Maksudpur, P.S. Khairah, Distt.- Saran at Chapra --Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 19-02-2010 Heard Mr. Basant Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Chapra Mufassil ( Khaira) P.S. Case No.173 of 2005 registered under Section 392 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his name transpired only during the investigation and that, too, in the confessional statement of one of the accused. Nothing was recovered from the possession of the petitioner. It appears that on the basis of confessional statement of co- accused, who has named this petitioner, the looted motorcycle was also recovered from the house of another accused. The F.I.R. was registered in the year 2005. From the order of the learned Sessions Court it appears that the petitioner is not a man of clean antecedent. There are several cases pending against him. - 2 - In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly keeping in view the fact that the antecedent of the petitioner is not clean I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. NKS/- (Rakesh Kumar,J)
