IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22369 of 2009 SHIV CHANDRA SINGH, son of Ram Janam Singh, resident of Village-Kakaria, Police Station-Gaighat, District-Muzaffarpur. ……Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar …….Opposite Party ----------- 02. 03.08.2009 Petitioner has filed this application for apprehending his arrest in Gaighat P.S. Case No. 152 of 1996 for various offences under Indian Penal Code and prevention of atrocities against SC & ST Act. Without going into the merits of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain this application on such a belated stage. The First Information Report in which the petitioner was named was lodged in 1996 and petitioner was charge-sheeted in 1998 as an absconder. Petitioner’s earlier Anticipatory bail application had been rejected by this Court in Cr. Misc. No. 32422 of 2006 which was dismissed as withdrawn on 18.08.2006. In this application this fact is not disclosed. However, petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within a period of four weeks from today and pray for regular bail. The Court below would consider the application on its own merit and disposed - 2 - of the same without being prejudice by the order of this Court. This application with the aforesaid observations is dismissed. Shageer (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J)
