IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32626 of 2008 ASHAMA KHATOON @ AGHMA KHATOON @ AGHWA MIYAIN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 24-9-2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner for anticipatory bail was earlier rejected by this Court on merits on 23.10.2003. The details of the prosecution case lodged by a police official were purposely not mentioned so that prayer of the petitioner for regular bail may not be prejudiced. The prayer of the petitioner for anticipatory bail has been renewed after about five years which shows that the petitioner has not surrendered in the court below even though named in the F.I.R. In the facts of the case, this Court is not persuaded to reconsider the prayer of the petitioner for anticipatory bail although it appears that some persons have been allowed anticipatory bail much after prayer of the petitioner was rejected by this Court. This application for anticipatory bail is dismissed. This order shall not prejudice the case of the petitioner. If she surrenders within four weeks and prays for regular bail in that event her prayer for bail shall be considered expeditiously. Naresh/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
