Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 7.4.2010 Heard Mr. Manish Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State. Petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Sultanganj P.S. Case No. 115 of 2009 dated 23.9.2009 registered under sections 147, 148, 149, 341, 323, 307, 504, 506, 153 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code as also under section 27 of the Arms Act and 3 & 4 of the Explosive Substance Act. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that though petitioners are alleged to have chased the informant for assaulting him but admittedly informant succeeded in fleeing away from there and no assault was caused to him. Allegation of firing and explosion of bomb is against other accused persons. It is further submitted that various litigation are going on from both sides. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and has submitted that petitioners are specifically named in the FIR as accused and motive for committing the crime in question was refusal by the informant and his family members to withdraw their criminal case against the accused persons and therefore, the petitioners had very strong motive to participate in the crime in question. In that view of the matter, the prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioners is rejected. Petitioners must surrender in the court - 2 - below within a period of four weeks from today and seek regular bail, if so advised. If such a petition is filed, then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. (Birendra Prasad Verma, J) M.Rahman
