IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23020 of 2008 DILIP SINGH & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 23.7.2008 Heard Counsel for the petitioners on merit. In view of the fact that the petitioners were named accused for offence under Sections 302 and allied offences and had remained absconding for a period of almost four years as has been noted in the order rejecting bail of the petitioners by the Sessions Judge dated 1.5.2008 also mentioning therein that the petitioners had been declared absconder and process under Section 83 Cr.P.C. had also been issued, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail of the petitioners, namely, Dilip Singh and Balendra Singh is hereby rejected. The rejection of the anticipatory bail of the petitioners, however, will not stand in the way of the petitioners in seeking their regular bail. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
