IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34180 of 2008 RAM BABU SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 19.9.2008. Petitioner’s name is mentioned in the column of the accused in the F.I.R. F.I.R. was registered on 25.2.1997 and after 11 years petitioner has approached for grant of anticipatory bail stating that he had no knowledge about his implication in the present case. Without going into the merit of the case prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected for the reason that he has already been declared absconder and after 11 years he has approached for grant of anticipatory bail. However, in case the petitioner surrenders and prayed for regular bail, it will be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by the rejection order. Sss/- (Mridula Mishra, J)
