IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15044 of 2008 ANUP PANDEY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4. 25.07.2008 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the state. F.I.R. of Kateya P.S. Case No. 59/07 was registered against unknown for offence u/S 302 of the IPC. There is no direct evidence as no one has witnessed the occurrence. During investigation, statement of the witnesses disclosed that the deceased was last seen in the company of this petitioner and two others. Dumping of something near the river was also disclosed from where, subsequently, dead body was recovered. Considering these evidences, I do not feel inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and accordingly, it is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders in the court below and prays for regular bail, it should be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. A.K.V ( Mridula Mishra, J.)
