IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2453 of 2010 1. BAGESHWAR MANDAL son of Late Prasadi Mandal 2. Libra Mandal son of Late Prasadi Mandal Both resident of village Chapar Diara P.O. Chapar, p.S. Rangra District – Bhagalpur.. Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.02.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The moment, this Court would find that the petitioners are seeking anticipatory bail in connection with an offence under Section 307 and other allied Sections of Indian Penal code as also section 25 of the Arms Act which was instituted in the year 1994, such delay of nearly 16 years in moving this Court would by itself automatically disentitle the petitioners for grant of such a privilege of anticipatory bail specially when the petitioners despite being named in F.I.R. had kept on absconding for period of nearly 16 years. That being so, this application is dismissed. Kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
