IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15406 of 2011 UMESH SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 11-05-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the earlier order dated 1-7-2003 whereby prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner was rejected on merits. The prayer has been renewed mainly on the ground that during the intervening period petitioner was held guilty in the departmental proceeding and punished but the order of punishment and the enquiry report were set aside by a learned Single Judge of this court vide annexure-8 on the ground that rules of natural justice were not complied with. There is no finding recorded in favour of the petitioner that the charges were false or not sustainable. Be as it may, after having remained at large without any bail for about 8 years, petitioner does not deserve privilege of anticipatory bail. The prayer is rejected. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
