IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.48940 of 2008 MAHESH DAS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 9.1.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner is seeking anticipatory bail in a case under section 364A of the Penal Code. The ground for seeking anticipatory bail is that a co-accused had faced trial in S.T. No. 548 of 1996 and was acquitted on 7.5.1999. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the witnesses have not named him in the trial and as such he may be granted the privilege of anticipatory bail. I do not think it a fit and proper case in which the petitioner may be granted anticipatory bail in view of the fact that he has not appeared or pursued the matter since 1996. This application is dismissed. haque (Sheema Ali Khan,J.)
