IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37841 of 2008 AMLESH SINGH @ CHUNNU SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 22-10-2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is an accused for offence punishable under sections 302, 120B and 34 of the Penal Code as well as section 27 of the Arms Act. This petition is for anticipatory bail and a similar petition filed earlier bearing Cr. Misc. No. 659 of 2007 was rejected by this Court on 03.04.2007. It transpires that for one and half years thereafter the petitioner evaded his arrest and has now filed this petition with similar prayer. The deceased was shot and subsequently died in course of treatment. Earlier neither the deceased nor his family members gave any statement due to fear saying that the name of the assailant was known to every one. The informant had also stated on query from the villagers, some of them disclosed on the condition of unanimity that it was the known criminal, Bablu along with three others including the petitioner, who had committed crime as the deceased was a contractor and had obtained a tender for construction by road and had refused to pay the money demanded by the accused persons as Rangdari. In the said circumstances the petitioner does not deserve any consideration of the matter and this petition for anticipatory bail is accordingly dismissed. B.Tiwary/ (S.N Hussain,J) - 2 -
