IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.38919 of 2009 MANOJ HEMBRAM @ MANOJ KUMAR HEMBRAM, S/O Sita Ram Hembram, resident of Village- Baghania, P.S. Murliganj, District- Madhepura......................................................Petitioners. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR..............................................Opposite Party. ----------- 2. 22.12.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for the State. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in a case registered under Sections 498A, 379/34, 504 and 447 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is the Dewar of the victim girl. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Dewar did not have any knowledge that a case has been instituted against him. This case is instituted in the year 1999 and 10 years thereafter the petitioner moved this Court for grant of anticipatory bail. This Court does not find it proper to grant privilege of anticipatory bail to a person who has been avoiding the court for past 10 years. In the circumstances, if the petitioner surrenders in the court below within a period of six weeks from today the court below will consider the regular bail application of the petitioner considering the fact that he is not directly involved in the said occurrence within a period of two days of his surrender. This application is disposed of with the aforesaid observation. U.K. (Sheema Ali Khan,J)
