IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2283 of 2010 Md. Ishrail Nadaf @ Ijrail Nadaf, Son of Gulam Rasul, Resident of Village Konar, Police Station Phulparas, District Madhubani. ------- Petitioner Versus The State of Bihar ------ Opposite Party ----------- 2 25.2.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. Considering the nature of allegation for offence under Section 307 and other allied offences of the Indian Penal Code as against the petitioner and the fact that the co- accused Yusuf Mian @ Md. Yusuf and Ayub Mian @ Md. Ayub Mian have been already been granted anticipatory bail by an order dated 13.8.2008 in Cr. Misc. No. 28644 of 2008, this Court was inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner but then it would find that the petitioner though named in the First Information Report had remained absconding for a period of almost three years. The explanation given by the counsel for the petitioner that certain application was filed on 22.12.2009 before the court below or that the petitioner was earlier ill would only go to show that he had no apprehension of arrest 2 and same is now being sought to be created at a belated stage. Every law abiding citizen in the event of being named in the First Information Report is supposed to seek his remedy either by way of surrendering or seeking anticipatory bail at the earliest possible opportunity. In that view of the matter, this Court would not be inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, namely, Md. Ishrail Nadaf @ Ijrail Nadaf and his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. Nothing said in this order, however, would stand in the way of the petitioner if he would surrender and seek regular bail. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
