IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24759 of 2008 PANKAJ CHOUDHARY & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 22.07.2008 Heard the learned counsels for the petitioners, State and the informant, who has filed power. Petitioners apprehend arrest in connection with Banka P.S.Case No. 25 of 2007 for the offences alleged to have been committed under section 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code, section 27 of the Arms Act and section ¾ of the Explosive Substance Act. On perusal of the first information report it appears that there is specific allegation against these petitioners with regard to commission of the alleged offence. The defence of the petitioner is to the effect that the present case has been lodged in retaliation of an earlier case lodged by the petitioner no.3 as contained in Annexure-2 to the petition. Considering the nature of allegations made in the first information report, I do not feel inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Their prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. It is, however, made clear that if the petitioners surrenders and files application for grant of regular bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order rejecting their prayer for anticipatory bail.
