IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13420 of 2008 1.GAJENDRA PRASAD SAHU 2.Devendra Prasad Sahu 3.Manishankar Prasad Sahu Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 9.5.2008 Petitioners apprehend their arrest in Complaint Case no. 1757 of 2001 in which cognizance has been taken under Section 409,420 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act and pray for grant of anticipatory bail. Mr. Pradeep Kumar Sinha, appears on behalf of the petitioners. State is represented by Mr. R.N.Jha, Additional Public Prosecutor. Petitioners earlier came to this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. No. 19510 of 2002. When the said application was taken up on 7.8.2002 no body appeared on their behalf and accordingly same has been dismissed. Petitioners have now chosen to file this application on 24.3.2008 for grant of anticipatory bail. It seems that the petitioners are avoiding the process of the Court. Having heard learned Counsel for the party and taking into consideration the nature - 2 - of allegation and material available as also the fact that they are avoiding the process of the Court, I am not inclined to accede to their prayer. Application stands dismissed. (Chandramauli Kr.Prasad,ACJ) A.kumar
