IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7901 of 2008 MD.MINTU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 07.5.2008 Twice earlier this petitioner has moved this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in a case under Sections 323, 341, 448 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code and both the times by order dated 20.9.2004 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 28116 of 2004 and order dated 22.9.2005 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 34797/2005 his applications were dismissed. On the first occasion this Court had taken note of the fact that the parties have settled the differences between them outside the Court and had accordingly directed the petitioner to surrender in the court below with the liberty to take all the pleas taken in the application which was directed to be considered and necessary order to be passed in accordance with law without being prejudiced by that order. The second time this Court dismissed the application directing the petitioner to surrender and pray for grant of regular bail in the court below. In the aforesaid circumstances, the present application for anticipatory bail is not maintainable. It is accordingly rejected. This Court was inclined to award heavy cost to the petitioner for his coming to this Court repeatedly but on the prayer of the petitioner that he shall now surrender in the court below and pray for bail there itself within a period of four weeks from today, this Court does not pass any such order. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner so surrenders and prays for bail then the court below shall consider the same keeping in view the fact and, if necessary, verifying the same, that the parties have settled the matter outside the Court.
