IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.5914 of 2010 PRAKASH KUMAR THAKUR @ PRAKASH THAKUR, SON OF LATE KEDAR NATH THAKUR. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 31.03.2010 Heard. This is an application for anticipatory bail for offence under Sections 353 and allied Sections of the Indian Penal Code. There is allegation of assault while informant was on his duty and he was going to repair the line. In the mean time two persons came and asked that why there is delay in providing electricity and then it was this petitioner, who assaulted the informant by slaps and fists. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is allegation of assault only by slaps and fists and there is no serious injury. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail. However, if petitioner surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail then it may be considered on its merit without prejudice of this order and the bail petition be disposed of preferably on the same day. The petition is dismissed. Kundan (Gopal Prasad, J.)
