IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42683 of 2009 SHASHI MANDAL, son of Chandan Mandal, resident of village- Madhopur, P.S. Nathnagar, District- Bhagalpur…. Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 4.03.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the fact that the petitioner is facing prosecution for offence under Sections 302/ 307/ 324/34 I.P.C. in which the life of the informant was taken away mercilessly by the members of a gang including the petitioner, this court would not be impressed with the submission of counsel for the petitioner, at least for the purposes of anticipatory bail, that there is no specific overtact against him. The deceased has given his full details in the manner in which he was subjected to torture and assault in which the petitioner is also said to be one of the accomplice. That being so, this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner and his such prayer is, accordingly, rejected. However, in the event the petitioner would surrender and seek regular bail, the 2 same shall be considered on merits without being prejudiced by this order. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
