IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46637 of 2009 1.INDRAJEET RAI, Son of Ram Bahadur Rai, 2.Gopal Rai, Son of Ram Bahadur Rai, 3.Mosaphir Rai, Son of Late Nabab Rai 4.Tega Rai, Son of Late Nabab Rai 5.Chandan Rai @ Chandan Kumar, Son of Ram Bahadur Rai All resident of Village East Rauja, P.S. Chapra Town, District Saran. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 1/2/2010 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The petitioners face prosecution for the offence under sections 307 and other allied sections of the Indian Penal Code and they have their defence that even if it is accepted that the fire arm injury was caused by petitioner Indrajeet Rai, the others having no specific overtact would be entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. In the opinion of this Court, the look of this case is not as simple as has been projected by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Infact case and counter case filed by both the parties would itself go to show than an incident took place at the shop of the Informant and thereafter when an effort was made to settle the dispute yet another incident had taken place which part is also supported by the First Information report filed by Indrajeet Rai, petitioner no. 1, himself. In that view of the matter, the role played by other petitioners (baring petitioner Indrajeet Rai) as alleged in F.I.R. assumes significance and therefore they do not deserve 2 anticipatory bail. This Court, however, while rejecting prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners would like to make it clear that this order will not stand in their way for consideration of their regular bail on merits. With the aforementioned observation this application is dismissed. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
