IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48156 of 2008 ATUL KUMAR SRIVASTAVA @ ATUL SRIVASTAVA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 15.12.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a Police case under Sections 307 and other provisions of the Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The submission is of his being a member of the mob only. Even his parentage has been named subsequently. The allegations are of blocking of National Highway 28 for personal aggrandisement and assaulting the Police personnel who sought to clear the road. Highways are the artery of the nation. Those, who block them unmindful of their action and its social impact on the citizenry, do not deserve the privilege of anticipatory bail. The grant the anticipatory bail to co-accused in Cr. Misc. No. 49327 of 2007, when this aspect of the matter does not appear to have come up for consideration and only the nature of simple injury was considered, does not persuade to grant the same relief on principles of consistency. The application is rejected. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
