IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14066 of 2009 BASHISHTH MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 24.4.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and Counsel for the State. The petitioner being directly named in the first information report and the police having already submitted charge sheet against him, when the petitioner has remained absconding for a period of two years, his defence that the F.I.R was lodged after a lapse of fourteen days or that in the first version the father had not named the petitioner in the alleged occurrence, would not be a valid ground for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly prayer for bail of the petitioner, namely, Bashishth Mandal is rejected. The petitioner if so advised may file a regular bail before the court below, which shall consider the same without being prejudiced by this rejection order. Narendra/ ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J. )
