IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38496 of 2009 1. HARINANDAN RAI S/O DHANPAT RAI VILL. - SARARIA, P.S. - LALGANJ, DISTT. - VAISHALI Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 17.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a Police case under Section 436 and other provisions of the Penal Code and SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The submission is that the co-accused similarly situated have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. In Cr. Misc. No. 35377 of 2009 this Court while rejecting the prayer for anticipatory bail of similarly situated co- accused declined to grant anticipatory bail observing that certain aspects of the matter do not appear to have been brought to the attention of the Court when it granted anticipatory bail. The application is rejected for the same reasons as noticed in Cr. Misc. No. 35377 of 2009. Any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on its own merits including grant of regular bail to co-accused stated to be similarly situated without being prejudiced by the present order.
