IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17453 of 2008 VIRENDRA PRASAD GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 9.5.2008 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Gardanibagh P.S. Case No.606 of 2004, registered under Sections- 419,420,467,468,471 IPC and has prayed for anticipatory bail. The allegation against the petitioner is of having obtained service with the Police Department on the basis of an affidavit sworn by his mother in respect of his date of birth, which did not tally with the date of birth given in the Matriculation Certificate. It appears that the petitioner had approached Sessions Court for anticipatory bail vide A.B.P.No.2065 of 2004 and the same was rejected by order dated 10.9.2004. The present application for anticipatory bail has been filed after four year on 1.5.2008. Apparently, it only goes to show that the petitioner during this period had neither been arrested nor has surrendered in the court below. This further goes to show that the petitioner does not really have any apprehension of being arrested. A person who sleeps over his case for such a long time does not deserve anticipatory bail .His prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Abhijit Sinha,J) NKS/-
