IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.45164 of 2008 HARI PASWAN @ HARI NARAYAN PASWAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 05. 08.04.2009 Heard both sides. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case instituted under Sections 364,379 of the Penal Code and later on Sections 302, 201 and 411/34 of the Penal Code were added. Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits before this court that charge sheet was submitted sometimes in 2006 showing him absconder. The petitioner approached the court below for grant of anticipatory bail in August 2008. The learned Sessions Judge noticing the fact that there was a deliberate attempt on behalf of the present petitioner to abscond in order to escape the trial as also the facts and circumstances emanating from the record rejected the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only evidence/material available against him is the confessional statement of a co-accused. Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the petitioner remained absconder for a petty long time, this court is of the view that he does not deserve the privilege of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.) 2
