IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15817 of 2009 UMESH MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 06/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It is submitted that the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. No.18242/08 arising out of Kutumba P.S. Case No.31/07 pending before Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad, but could not surrender in time. This Court is not persuaded to extend the time for surrender. The application is disposed with the observation that any application for regular bail on behalf of the petitioner shall be considered by the court below on its own merits preferably on the date that the petitioner surrenders without being prejudiced by the present order keeping in mind that the petitioner had in fact been granted anticipatory bail but only could not surrender within time. Let the order be communicated to the court below by FAX at the cost of the petitioner. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
