IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40799 of 2009 BISHWANATH RAI & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 8.1.2010. Heard. It is informed by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners that petitioners Bishwanath Rai, Sharma Rai and Bhola Manjhi have been arrested by the police. In the light of submissions their prayer for anticipatory bail is dismissed as infructuous. As regards the prayer for bail of the remaining sole petitioner Mohan Rai, after some argument the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner sought permission to withdraw this petition, which is dismissed as withdrawn. The court below may find that this was not a case in which Section 47A of the Excise Act could have been inserted. It was simply in respect of causing obstruction in the official performance of duties of a public servant and that allegation has to be viewed in the light of the submissions that six of the 18 named accused in the FIR have been exonerated by the police. The prayer for anticipatory bail of Mohan Rai is dismissed in the light of the above observations. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
