IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5714 of 2009 ANIKET KUMAR @ ANKET KUMAR, son of Sanjay Kumar Singh, resident of Allahabad Bank Colony, Maurya Patha, P.S. Rajiv Nagar, Patna Town & District Patna Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 10.07.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 353, 307, 333, 332, 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the case is registered against the driver of the vehicle and three unknown. Petitioner is not the driver of the vehicle. He has been implicated as one of the three unknown. It is further submitted that the petitioner boarded the vehicle in question after the vehicle reached Fatuha having dropped the victim and the kidnappers near Kanti Factory in Kankarbagh locality of Patna Town. On the basis of aforesaid statement of fact, it is submitted that petitioner is not involved in the kidnapping of the victim, as such, should be admitted to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. I regret not to accept such submission in view of the fact that having alighted the victim and the kidnappers near Kanti Factory in Kankarbagh locality of Patna Town, the vehicle 2 was being taken to Rajgir so that through the vehicle and the driver, the kidnappers may not be traced. In the way near Fatuha services of the petitioner was taken to achieve the purposes. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to admit the petitioner to the privilege of bail in the event of arrest. This application is, accordingly, dismissed with direction to the petitioner to surrender in the court of A.C.J.M., Barh (Patna) in connection with Bakhtiyarpur P.S. Case No. 9 of 2006 within four weeks from today and apply for regular bail, which should be considered in accordance with law. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
