IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1253 of 2010 Kamlesh Singh, son of Late Ram Naresh Singh, resident of Village- Pillich, P.S.- Parbalpur, District- Nalanda. ………………….Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar …………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 2. 07. 04. 2010. Heard Mr. Bishnukant Dubey, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, and Mr. D. Mehta, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Deepnagar P.S. Case No. 245 of 2009 dated 30. 11. 2009, registered under Sections 414, 420, 278, 285 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the prosecution case, huge quantity of stolen coal was seized by the Police and the petitioner is specifically named in the F.I.R. as an accused. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in fact he is not dealing in stolen coal rather he is bonafide purchaser of coal and in support of that he referred to annexure-3. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly in view of recovery of huge quantity of stolen coal this Court is not inclined to accede to the prayer made on behalf of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail. It is accordingly, dismissed. 2 The petitioner must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a prayer is made then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order and also by looking into the facts that other co-accused persons have been granted bail. m.p.
