IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1897 of 2009 GHANSHYAM PANDEY & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 24.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioners pray for anticipatory bail in a case under Sections 147,149,447,353,427,379 and 432 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegations against the petitioners are that they were also part of the mob, which prevented the officials from taking appropriate action with respect to the irrigation canal. It is alleged that some of the people of the crowd took away the plates of wood, meant for blockage of flow of water, as a result of which the stored water drew back to the river causing obstruction in the work of the irrigation and that also caused revenue loss to the Government. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that there is no specific allegation against the petitioners of having taken part in removal of the wood plates and, therefore, it is only alleged that the petitioners were protesting along with the other members of the crowd. On a consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court does not consider it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners and their prayer for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected.
