IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44814 of 2010 1. Sri Sanjay Mehta, S/o Late Kali Mehta. 2. Dipu Singh, S/o Late Kauleshwar Singh. 3. Ashis Prasad @ Ramashis Prasad, S/o Sri Ramawatar Prasad. All are resident of Village Sadh, P.S. Sirdalla, District Nawada. ------- Petitioners Versus The State of Bihar ------ Opp. Party ----------- 2 26.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The allegation against the petitioners of assaulting an employee of the Electricity Board on duty has been sought to be explained by the learned counsel for the petitioners that no such incident had taken place and, in fact, the issue had remained confined to some hot exchange of words. The allegation in the First Information Report shows that an officer on duty was sought to be obstructed in discharge of his official duty and, therefore, the petitioner no.1, who himself claims to be a Government Servant, would not deserve grant of anticipatory bail. As a matter of fact, in view of the specific allegation, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the 2 petitioners and, therefore, if the petitioners surrender, their prayer for regular bail will be considered without being prejudiced by the rejection of their prayer for anticipatory bail by this order. With the aforementioned observations, this application is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
